I used to use #GoogleMaps on my iPhone without attaching it to my google account. Since I have gmail app it knows it’s me, but would ask if I wanted to continue anonymously or connected to my account.
As of tonight, it no longer asks. Google Maps just connected me to my account… unless I choose “incognito mode”.
I’m not sure what, if any, significance there is to all this. But I don’t like it #Google
Any #degoogle suggestions for iOS (other than Apple Maps which might become my default now)?
