Abstract
In one embodiment, a mobile-client system may store location history data during a first time period in its memory, where the location history data comprises a plurality of geographic locations during the first time period and one or more time stamps corresponding to each of the geographic locations. The mobile-client system may detect whether it has a current network connection to an online social network. The mobile-client system may determine whether to transmit the stored location history data to a location server of the online social network, where if it is currently connected to the online social network, then the mobile-client system transmits the location history data to a location server using the current network connection, and if it is not currently connected to the online social network, then the mobile-client system refrains from transmitting the location history data to the location server.
