Google has revealed that its Google Maps services will receive new features that will make it easier for users to manage their data. Google stated on its official websites that Google Maps will introduce a new feature to delete activities related to specific places. For instance, if a user plans to attend a birthday party and wants to buy a cake from a nearby bakery, the maps will show them the location of the bakery and the routes they will take to get there. This data will be collected in one place so that users can refer to it later or delete it easily with just a few clicks.
Available information indicates that this new feature will appear in the Google Maps applications on Android and iOS devices in the coming weeks. Another feature that Google will also add is the ability to easily access the main control elements of the maps application through the blue dot that shows the user's location when using the app. By simply clicking on this dot, the user will see the application's settings related to location services, and they will be able to enable or disable some of these settings.
Google wrote on its platforms about the topic: "Your location information is personal data. We are committed to keeping it secure and private, so that it remains under your control. You should remember that Google Maps does not leak this data to any party, so there's no need to worry, and you can spend more time exploring new places."
