Where you go, Google goes. Google Maps in particular keeps track of every step you (and your smartphone) take and archives that activity in your Google Timeline. It might seem like a walk down memory lane, but it can also leave the door to your privacy wide open.
With Timeline, Google Maps can show you where you're going and where you've been. There might even be photographic evidence, since Timeline syncs with any shots uploaded to Google Photos. You can also share your location with anyone in real time on iOS and Android.
If you'd prefer to keep your whereabouts private without ditching Google, you can remove your location history and tell it to stop following you. Here's how.There are a few things you can do regardless of which device you have and which Google service you're using. you can check your security and privacy settings and do a deep dive into your account activity in order to take control over what Google tracks about you.
On the Data & personalization section of your Google Account dashboard, you can play with your activity controls and disable what data Google can track and collect from you. These activities include web and app activity, location history, device information, Google Assistant and Google Home data, and YouTube search and watch history.
