Google Maps launches a safety feature in India

The 'Stay Safer' feature will alert and notify users traveling in taxis, auto-rickshaws when their vehicle goes off-route and also share the live status of their trips with friends/family. This is an India-first feature, as research has shown that a lot Indians restrict their mobility due to safety concerns. Indian users would be able to use this new feature with the latest version of Google Maps on their Android phones.

Fake Business Profiles to be removed from Maps

Fake Business Profiles to be removed from Maps

Maps is flooded with 11 mn false listings and phone numbers that reroute to competing businesses. They charge business owners for free services, they pose as real businesses to defraud customers and secure leads. Google is constantly on the lookout for these fraud accounts, and tries to fight it with both manual and automated systems. So far they have disabled more than 150,000 user accounts that were found to be abusive - a 50% increase from 2017.
