Absolutely! You can easily adjust your privacy settings on Google Maps to hide your history and view it only when you need it. Here's how:
- Open Google Maps: Launch the Google Maps app on your device.
- Tap on your profile picture: This is usually located in the top-left corner of the screen.
- Select "Settings": From the menu that appears, choose "Settings."
- Choose "Privacy & Terms": Scroll down until you find this option and tap on it.
- Find "Location History": Look for the "Location History" setting and tap on it.
- Toggle "Save Location History": This option allows you to turn location history on or off. If you want to hide your history, simply toggle it off.
Once you've disabled location history, your past locations won't be visible on Google Maps unless you specifically choose to view them.
Remember: Disabling location history will also prevent Google Maps from using your past locations to provide personalized recommendations and traffic information. If you still want to use these features but prefer to keep your history private, you can consider using incognito mode or clearing your browsing data regularly.
