"Enhancing User Control: Google Maps' New Location Data Features"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Fox News
Google Maps has introduced new features to enhance user control over location data. Users can now utilize the Timeline feature to remember places they've visited, which is helpful for recollection but requires Location History to be turned on. Google also offers an auto-delete function, allowing users to set a timeframe for automatic deletion of their location history. Additionally, users can delete their entire location history, specific time ranges, single days, or individual places. The updates also include the ability to delete directions, searches, and shares, and the blue location dot now provides immediate access to key location settings. These updates aim to give users more power and ease in managing their location data while using Google Maps.
