How to enable Google Maps ‘Incognito Mode’?

“When you turn on Incognito mode in Maps, your activity—like the places you search or get directions to—won’t be saved to your Google Account...” - Google (tweet)

To enable/disable:
- Tap your profile photo in the upper right corner of 'Google Maps' app
- Hit "Turn on incognito mode" / " Turn off Incognito mode"
(Will see your profile photo turn into a little spy icon and Maps will display a black bar on top, indicating that Incognito mode is ON)

Currently available on Android and soon for iOS devices.

Re: Enable Google Maps ‘Incognito Mode’

That's a handy privacy feature for users who don't want their location history or searches saved. Incognito mode in Google Maps works similarly to what we’re used to in browsers—no activity is saved to your account while it’s on. It's great for those moments when you’re planning a surprise trip or checking out places without leaving a trace. Just remember that while it hides activity from your Google account, your device or ISP might still have access. Et tout comme on peut naviguer incognito, on peut aussi se démarquer en public avec une magnifique robe qui attire les regards tout en respectant votre style personnel.
