There's also the ability to collaborate with people who don't have an iOS device. If someone creates a Collection in Apple Maps I just don't get to participate.

- reissbaker 7y agoGoogle doesn't give your map collections to advertisers. It's true that Google gets to see them, but Apple is no better in that regard: they store your collections on their servers too (where else would they store them?).
- krrrh 7y agoApple is better in that regard. End-to-end encryption Maps keeps your personal data in sync across all your devices using end-to-end encryption. Your Significant Locations and collections are encrypted end-to-end so Apple cannot read them. And when you share your ETA with other Maps users, Apple can’t see your location. Other useful sections on that page worth reading: "Location Fuzzing", "Random Identifiers", and "(on-device) Personalization" From: https://www.apple.com/privacy/features/ https://www.apple.com/privacy/features/
- izacus 7y ago_SHARED_ collections between multiple Apple users are not E2E encrypted. Don't spread misinformation on privacy, it'll mislead people into sharing too much data.
- krrrh 7y agoThat’s interesting. Can you point to a reference for that? I would have assumed that shared collections with a group of iCloud accounts would be e2e encrypted like iMessage groups are e2e encrypted. Glad to revisit that assumption.
