Google released a new Google Maps version to beta testers which includes various features the company is considering for the future. Among them, there’s a brand new privacy feature that will let you better manage your location data. Last summer, reports revealed that Google is tracking and logging your location even when you think the feature is disabled, and it uses various apps to do it, not just Google Maps. That’s the kind of privacy breaching behavior the EU might punish with the help of record fines. So seeing Google try to improve user privacy in the main Google app that requires access to your location is an excellent step towards fixing things.
