Google introduces new privacy-focused tools for YouTube, Maps and Assistant

Google has now rolled out some new privacy-focused tools for its services such as Maps, YouTube and Google Assistant. The company, along with several other tech giants have been **facing scrutiny globally** about the way user data is handled and Google is taking steps to remedy the situation. The new tools allow users to control, manage, erase and in some cases even prevent the data that Google collects. [caption id=“attachment_6976801” align=“alignnone” width=“1280”]Goog Google Maps.[/caption] The company has introduced a new incognito mode for Google Maps and it is the same which is provided on Chrome and YouTube. The basic idea is that this incognito mode on Google Maps will prevent Google from gathering data about your usage of Maps including your travel history or the places that you’ve searched on Maps. The incognito mode can be accessed when you tap your profile picture and this feature is currently out on Android with an iOS update to follow soon. [caption id=“attachment_7445571” align=“alignnone” width=“600”]Incognito mode on Maps.

All your YouTube watching history will be deleted automatically before that and you can even now choose to manually delete the history.

A new feature is also going to be announced which will allow you to delete your interaction with Google Assistant using voice commands. [caption id=“attachment_7445591” align=“alignnone” width=“539”]Google Assistant privacy.

If you wish to delete interactions earlier than that Google will take you account settings page, where you can make that happen.
