Google Maps. You can see in the image above that a similar function is implemented for Google's online map platform, all with the idea of ​​giving users the opportunity to use the platform more safely. The new function can be activated in Google Maps from the menu that also contains the profile picture, where other information regarding the control of the data stored by the map application is also displayed.

Google Maps. After activating this "Incognito Mode", the application will hide all the information that we enter in it to search for information through the huge database that the Google company has with locations from all over the world. Considering that Google Maps will no longer save the data we are looking for, this means that in the future it will no longer be able to offer us suggestions for entering locations for search, so this must also be taken into account.

Google Maps. The new functionality will be implemented in the applications for iOS and Android during this year, but for now there is no clear date when the functionality will be officially implemented.
