Google has introduced a new feature in Chrome for Android that allows users to share their approximate location with websites instead of their precise location. Users can now opt out of sending exact coordinates to protect their privacy. This is reported by Techcrunch.com reports .
Company representatives note that there are cases requiring precise location, such as delivery services or finding ATMs. However, for tasks like checking weather forecasts or local news, an approximate location is sufficient. This change gives users more control over their personal data.
Google plans to roll out this feature for desktop computers in the coming months. There is currently no information on when this update will be available for Chrome on iOS.
Google is also providing new API tools for web developers. These allow developers to specify exactly what type of location data is needed for site functionality. The company encourages developers to request precise location only when absolutely necessary.
