Home/memories_history.json — dates and GPS

JSON files toggle

memories_history.json is the date source

If you skipped “JSON files” in My Data, we can still date files from the YYYY-MM-DD prefix at noon UTC. Turn JSON on next time you export if you want time-of-day and GPS.

Fields we read

Matching prefers the same calendar day and media type, then the closest timestamp. Ambiguous GPS (two rows, same second, different coordinates) is omitted rather than guessed.
