Incognito Mode arrives in Google Maps, Users can now keep location data secret.

Incognito mode for Google Maps has arrived on Android. Now you can enjoy the incognito mode in Google maps also. The engineers are testing the feature from some time and now the update goes live in Google Maps.

Incognito Mode is one of the most popular privacy control features and it has been launched on Google Chrome since 2008. Now it also arrives in Google Maps.

According to Google, After turning on Incognito mode in Google Maps, the activity on your device(like the places you search for) won’t be saved in your Google Account. Also, it would not be used to provide personalized suggestions based on that information or cookies saved.

The update may take some days to arrive on each smartphone. Update your Google Maps app and see whether it has got the feature or not. I will tell you the process later in this post.
