Google has added a feature to its Maps app on iOS that lets users see everywhere they have been, including locations and venues visited.

Called Your Timeline, the new section contains a history of all of the places users have visited that can be viewed by date, mode of transport or type of activity. For example, they can look at restaurants they have been to or how they travelled to Brighton last time they went.

Google says the feature is designed to help users answer questions such as "What was the name of that antique store I popped into the other day?" or "Did I drop off the dry cleaning on Tuesday or Wednesday?"

Here's how to find Your Timeline and, if you find it creepy, stop it from following you.

See everywhere you have been on Google Maps

To see the history of recent places you have been you will need to make sure you have the most recent version of the iOS app. You can check this by going to the App Store -> Updates.

Once you have the updated app you will be able to see Your Timeline by tapping the three lines in the top right hand corner that open the control centre.
