Google Maps has an Incognito mode for you to search for places, or to make certain trips without a trace remaining somewhere in the history. The Google I / O 2019 conference was an opportunity for the firm to put a lot of emphasis on privacy - a topic especially for the firm that has long focused its business model on the collection of many data and their use for innovative services.
Google Maps is playing Incognito: activate private browsing to no longer record history!
The possibility of switching to Incognito mode seems to go in this direction. In concrete terms, a new button appears to the right of the address bar. A logo that is the same as the Incognito feature in Chrome - the first app to get it, followed by YouTube. Press it, and a banner reminds you that the Incognito mode is active.
You can then search for what you want with complete peace of mind, without the need to go into history if you do not want a place or a trip to be included. For now, however, Google does not give a specific date for the deployment of this feature. We do not know, moreover, if, like other novelties, it will initially be exclusive to Pixel 3 and 3a.
What do you think of this feature? Have there been any cases in which you would have strongly preferred that Google Maps not record your searches and trips? Tell us everything in the comments!
