Google Maps keeps a detailed log of every place you visit, which is great for remembering a restaurant but terrible for your privacy. You can easily turn off Location History.
How to Stop Location Tracking
- Open the Google Maps app on your smartphone.
- Tap your profile picture in the top right corner.
- Select Your Timeline.
- Tap the three dots in the top right and select Settings and privacy.
- Under Location settings, tap Location History is on and toggle it Off.
