Private way to use Google Maps on iOS (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 years ago by Gueoris@lemmy.world to c/privacyguides@lemmy.one

16 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Hello everyone! Long story short, I switched from CalyxOS to iOS because the Pixel 5 was too big for me.

Now that I'm on iOS, I'd like to know if there was a way to use google maps anonymously/privately.

I used to use the GMapsViewer application on Fdroid. Today the solution I've found is to use Firefox focus and go to the Google Maps site, but it's a bit of a mess to find a simple address.

Do you have another idea for me? Thanks in advance!

I guess you're talking about individous? Still not fully private, you're still in a pool of users also using that instance
