They can still access it locally, if Google wanted to protect people then they wouldn’t store location data
- How about the case where I explicitly want them to store my location data? I mean I really use and like that feature.
  
  Then store it on the local device where its encrypted.
  
  That's what they're doing now.
  But it has been encrypted for years.
- I want them to. I opted in and use that feature.
- that is possible with the current google settings
  it is not default. but it is possible.
  
  Nah, that toggle is meaningless.
  
  Evidence?
