Flexible privacy settings for your Google Maps profile

Whether you review coffee shops or add information about health clinics, sharing your local knowledge on Google Maps helps others know where to go in your city. The info you post is listed in Your contributions so people who land on your profile can see your expertise and impact. For those who feel like that reveals too much, you now have the option to update your profile settings.

Here’s how you can hide the list of your contributions from your profile. Please note that each contribution is still visible on the relevant place page that appears on Google Maps.

Here’s how on Google Maps for Android and iOS:

• Open the Google Maps App
• Go to the menu on the top left and select Settings
• Tap Personal content
• Under “Profile settings,” turn off Show contributions on your profile

Here’s how on your desktop:

• Open Google Maps
• Go to the menu on the top left and select Your contributions
• Click Contribute, then click Profile settings
• Turn off Show contributions on your public profile

This does not seem flexible?  Flexible means that you could choose which reviews not to show publically on your profile.

Esto es una opción más que no sirve de muyo ya que si la activamos podemos impedir que entrando a ver nuestros perfiles puedan ver el listado de nuestras contribuciones pero de igual forma que siempre, si entran a ver un lugar ahí podrán ver las contribuciones que hemos hecho a ese lugar.
