Google Maps Enhances Privacy Controls with One-Click Data Removal
Google Maps is introducing a privacy update that allows users to have more control over their information on the platform. Users will be able to view and delete their past searches, directions, and shares in one central location. The update also includes a settings menu for the Timeline and Location History features, where users can manage their data and location settings. Additionally, Google is planning to introduce a feature next year that will allow users to save their Timeline recording directly onto their device. The auto-delete function for Location History will also be changed to three months by default. The updates will be rolled out to Android and iOS phones in the coming weeks.
