I guess for a person who screenshots places they want to go.

90% of my screenshot roll are of horror movies I want to watch. Google will be planning vacations to abandoned houses and Antarctic research stations. Yaaay.

If you didn't install OS on your device than some body else did... So they can do whatever they want

Manufacturing use-cases to justify spyware.

Yet again a “feature” nobody asked for. It will not even properly do what it says.

Darleys_Brew@lemmy.ml on 28 Mar 2025 14:49 collapse

No, but it will do something they need that we won’t want or like.

Cris16228@lemmy.today on 27 Mar 2025 19:04 next collapse

Woohooo something 90% of people will NEVER use, it will be on by default so they can scan all your pics (in case they didn’t already)

Google Maps can, and we’re just hearing this live now, “get fucked”.

Geodad@lemm.ee on 27 Mar 2025 23:23 next collapse

Not if I don’t use Google Maps…

LiveLM@lemmy.zip on 28 Mar 2025 01:49 next collapse

Think this is useless? It gets worse!

The new screenshot feature for Google Maps doesn’t appear to detect locations based on image recognition, instead requiring visible text

They must’ve told the new intern “Put AI in Google Maps. You have 3 days.”
I almost feel bad for the poor sap.

DevotedOtter@lemm.ee on 28 Mar 2025 06:07 next collapse

Not that I want this… But why is it rolling out to ios before android?

DieserTypMatthias@lemmy.ml on 28 Mar 2025 07:14 collapse

Because on Android, you can inspect the APK yourself, but on iOS, it’s trust me bro.

All my screenshots are memes. Where is Google going to send me on vacation?

HurlingDurling@lemm.ee on 28 Mar 2025 14:02 next collapse

I’m going to Portland or pornland, one of the two.

Christ what the fuck kind of offer is that. Who wants these shit features for this price.

Glad I just ditched Google… Might have to expedite removing data from their claws
