Known issues
Google Maps Timeline History
According to many reports, some Huawei phones -including the P20 and P20 Pro, but not limited to these- suffer from the same issue: Google Maps doesn't track visited locations properly or at all. There are some alleged fixes for this, including clearing some cache areas, but it seems to be related to the presence of more than one Google account configured in the system.
Huawei has been contacted by multiple users about this issue but as of 2018-08-14 it is yet to be fixed.
