Google Map is a highly preferred navigation app for iOS, iPadOS and Android users. In Android devices, Google Maps is a pre-installed app, while iOS and iPadOS users have to install it from the App Store. Google Maps is packed with a lot of navigation features, but its Incognito mode is really helpful for those who wish to use Google Maps privately.

Incognito Mode is already available in Google Chrome, and most of the Chrome users are already aware of it. Incognito Mode in Google Chrome allows the user to browse privately without leaving any web history. Incognito Mode in Google Maps will serve a similar purpose by keeping your searched and navigated places private. People that want to keep their search history and navigated places private, they should try out the Incognito Mode, and here’s how you can access it on iPad and iPhone devices.

 

How to Use Incognito Mode in Google Maps

To use the Incognito Mode, make sure to download the latest version of Google Maps on your iPad or iPhone device. If you’re already using the latest version, here’s what you need to do:

  • Launch Google Maps on iPad or iPhone.

  • Sign in to your Google Map by tapping on the Profile icon at the top right side.

  • Click on the Turn on Incognito mode below the Manage your Google Account.

  • Now a pop-up display will appear, press the Close button to close the window and start searching places privately.

This is everything you must do to turn on and use the Incognito Mode in Google Maps. Once you fully understand the procedure of turning on Incognito mode, you can follow the same process in Android devices as well. In the Android device, the procedure is the same.

If you search anything on Incognito Mode, your searched areas, navigation places won’t be saved, and won’t appear in Google Location History. If you really wish to stop Google Maps to track your location, you can turn off automatic sync places.

Conclusion

Google Maps is the best tool to find any place instantly. In these recent years, Google Maps improved a lot of things including interface, searched places, adding places, and adding photos. If there’s a missing area in Google Map, users can add it to the map through a simple method. Once a new area is added to the Google Map, it will begin to appear there while zooming in and out.
