You must have heard that phrase – it follows wherever you go for a popular network. Similar goes the story of Google Maps nowadays. Google Maps can track your whereabouts using the iPhone or Android based phone and it keeps the details on your Timeline showcasing everywhere you have been. This simply include the creepy level of details like what you have left the work once you reach home and the right route that takes you home along with the pictures of the locations you have come across in your way. Even if you are walking, driving or traveling on a train or metro, everything is recorded on your Google Maps. 

At times, this info can very much be useful like you want to remember the food joint you visited with your friend for the next time to have cool food or similar other things can be tracked down. If you check the history, you would come across the location you have visited the place. There is no reason why Google would need to have this info about the same unless you see things coming from the recommendations that Google does for you like for example the restaurant or any other food joint you visited. Perhaps there are more ways of reclaiming your privacy.

First of all, you need to delete everything which would appear in Google Maps, which can be done both for your iOS or Android based devices. All you need to do is to open the Google Maps on your phone and then tap over your profile picture seen on the top right. Then choose your data in maps followed by choosing the option of seeing and deleting the activity. Now, hit the menu button over the top right over the settings and choose delete the location history to see things for working for  you. In case if you want to showcase the same on your Timeline, you can do it by tapping over the app and then choose the option called Your Timeline followed by joining the three dots by choosing the same from Settings and Privacy. 

This is an important feature one can find in Google Maps and it can be used even by the Police and other concerned department to crack cases. Even you have other fetures to check with it. Well, let’s see how one can leverage the same. Stay tuned to know more about it and others only with us.
