I’m unable to see my historical Google location data on iOS via

https://www.google.com/maps/timeline?pb

I’m getting the following error:

“Location Services permission is not set to always. Timeline cannot function properly if you don’t allow Google Maps access to your location while in background. [Skip][Turn On]”

Seems like I should be able to see what historical location data they have without enabling background location.
