[br] [br]Google's I/O 2019 announcements, especially the received widespread media attention.[br][br]But, amid all the fanfare, a useful capability announced for Maps faded away - Incognito mode.[br][br]Yes, much like Google Chrome, the iconic setting that lets you browse privately is coming into Maps and that too very soon.[br][br]Here's everything you need to know about it.[br][br]Incognito mode on Google Maps? Here's how it will work[br][br][br] [br][br]On May 7, Google confirmed Incognito mode for Maps, tweeting that the feature would be rolled out for all users of the service in the coming weeks.[br][br]The search giant also explained the use of the setting, saying it will help you navigate maps and locations privately.[br][br]Meaning, just like Chrome's incognito, you'll be able to use Maps without sharing any data with Google.[br][br]How to enable Maps' incognito mode[br][br]Once available, Google Maps' incognito mode will be enabled from the profile icon provided next to the search bar.[br][br]As and when you tap on the profile picture and hit the 'Turn on Incognito Mode' option, the feature will be activated.[br][br]From here on, anything you do on Maps, from looking up a restaurant to navigating to it, will be known to only you.[br][br]Here's what the feature would look like[br] [br][br][br]Google pushing for enhanced privacy[br][br][br] [br][br]Google Maps' incognito mode comes just as the company continues its push for enhanced privacy.[br][br]The company recently enabled an option to automatically delete location history and web activity after a certain period of time.[br][br]And, to note, it has already introduced Incognito mode for YouTube for Android and plans to do the same for other products, including Google search, in the near future.[br][br][br]Google has been marred in privacy-related matters[br][br]The move from Google makes sense considering it has been marred by privacy issues lately.[br][br]Last year, it was revealed the company stored user locations even when they had location histories off.[br][br]Plus, there were two different leaks, which compromised data of millions of people using the now dead social media service Google+.[br][br]However, none of its problems have been as bad as Facebook's![br][br][br][br]#Infinix_India.....
