Google Maps has launched today the new Incognito Mode that I told you about a few weeks ago when I told you that it was being prepared for distribution, and this finally happened. Those from Google show below how this new Incognito Mode works in Google Maps, it being thought to offer exactly the same functionality as the one that is available in Google Chrome.
Google Maps now allows its users to search for any kind of addresses, and to benefit from guided navigation to them without any of the actions being saved in the history of the application. The change is a very good one, because a lot of people asked to have more privacy within Google Maps, and this will happen from now on, but it remains to be seen to what extent some data will not be saved.

Google Maps allows the activation of this mode of use by simply pressing the icon that allows viewing the profile information, and there you will see the option to activate Incognito Mode. In the video below you can see a demonstration of how this new function for Google Maps can be used, and everything is as simple as in the case of other functions implemented by Google in other applications.
Coming soon @googlemaps, when you turn on Incognito mode in Maps, your activity — like the places you search or get directions to — won't be saved to your Google Account. Just tap from your profile picture to easily turn it on or off. #io19 pic.twitter.com/z7GRkkmDbn

Google Maps had this Incognito Mode presented in May during the Google I/O conference, but its launch seems to have taken longer than the Americans would have liked, so it is only available now. Starting today, Google Maps has distributed the new function in the application for Android all over the world, so some users will see it now, and others sometime during the next month, of course gradually.
Google Maps will offer this function including in the application for iOS, but for now it is not very clear when everything could reach users with iPhone phones.
