This again? They were storing location history as to more easily pinpoint the user's location without having to maintain a constant connection with a GPS satellite. They weren't storing it and sending it off to the NSA, your local police, or their own data center to mine it.

Were users warned about this before the tracking started?

  It's NOT tracking. It was only ever stored locally on that device. That's called logging.

    Were users warned about this before the logging started? Edit: FWIW, "track" is the word used in the CNN article I linked.
