Description
Section titled “Description”Apple Maps is built around location, so it can reveal more about your habits than you might expect: where you go, what you search for, places you save, and when you share your route or ETA.
Maps shouldnt need constant access or extra personalization to work. Keep the features you use, but turn off anything you dont need, or compromises your personal information.
