"Google Maps Enhances Privacy Features for User Control"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by TechCrunch
Google Maps is introducing new updates to give users more control over their personal information. Users will soon be able to delete activity related to specific places and access location controls directly from the blue dot in the app. The updates will roll out on Android and iOS in the coming weeks, allowing users to easily manage their location history and delete place-related activity. Additionally, the auto-delete control for Location History will default to three months instead of 18 months. These changes aim to enhance user privacy and data control on Google Maps.
