I would like to enable Google's Location History on my iPhone so I can see my location history at https://www.google.com/maps/timeline.
I tried enabling this functionality as follows: Open the Google app > Menu > My Account > Personal Info & Privacy > Activity Controls > Location History. Here my iPhone is listed, with a disabled checkbox. A message is displayed that says "Use a location enabled Google app on the iOS device to change the setting". When I click on the checkbox to enable it, nothing happens.
I have Settings > Privacy > Location Services enabled, and Settings > Privacy > Location Services > Google Maps set to "Always".
Is there any way to enable the Location History functionality?

I found the answer myself. For some reason, enabling the device through the Google app did not work, however the same screen in Google Maps works fine.
Open the Google Maps app > Menu > Settings > Location history > Enable the device.
