Google Maps recently received a plethora of new features to combat fake content, and now the platform is getting ready for another set of new privacy-focused features. Earlier today, Google announced these three new privacy-focused features in a blog post. These features will help both Android and iOS users keep their movements discreet and more private. Delete activities right from Maps According to Google’s announcement, Google Maps users will soon be able to delete their activities for a specific location straight from the application. It will help if someone is snooping around. For example, you visit a place frequently and don’t want anyone to know, you’ll be able to delete your searches, directions, visits, and shares with a few steps. The new function will start rolling out to both Android and iOS users in the coming weeks. Changes to the Google Maps’s Timeline feature Next is the timeline feature or more specifically, changes to the timeline feature. Google is making it possible to store your Timeline on your device instead of on the cloud by default. The timeline feature on Google Maps works when location history is enabled and is designed to show the user a summary of where they have been. More importantly, Google will restore the Timeline locally on your device to provide more control over your data. It means you will be able to delete all or part of your data instantly.
