We have tested the app on our smartphones and found that the feature is enabled on our Google Maps App. Right now we are using the latest version of Google Maps (v10.28.2). If you don’t find the feature then try to update the app from Google Playstore, and if still didn’t find the feature then wait for some days to reach the feature on your smartphone.

Steps to Turn On the Feature

Open Google Maps > tap on your profile picture > tap on ‘Turn on Incognito mode’.

Steps to Turn Off the Feature

Open Google Maps > tap on the incognito icon (top right corner) > tap on ‘Turn off Incognito mode’.

While Google Maps Incognito mode feature is on, all searches will be kept out of your search history, location history won’t be impacted while the mode is on, and users’ personal data won’t be used to personalise maps.

There is no confirmation on the launch of this feature for iOS users. We will keep you posted if we get any further updates on this. And for more interesting tech news keep following our website.

In the search bar, you will see an Incognito Mode icon just tap it to start the private session and tap on the same icon to the end of the session. This feature is already present on the main Google App and now it makes its way to Google Go App.

Radha Narayan, product manager for Google Go in a statement “Whether you’re researching a gift or want to browse the Web for personal topics like health and finance, we want you to be able to access the web more privately. We’re continuously adding new features to Google Go and hope that this new mode will help people control their privacy more easily”.

Incognito Mode in Google Go is starting to roll out in more than dozen languages in India, including English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu.
