•Google Maps trend sees people reminisce over old photos of their homes
66% Informative
TikTokers are looking up photos of their childhood homes on Google Maps .
One user was 'screaming, crying, throwing up' after spotting her late grandparents in 2008 photos.
Another found their childhood dogs chasing the Google Maps car in 2012 .
Many viewers have been overcome with emotion at the videos, with one claiming they 'cannot handle it'.
If you use Google Maps , adjust your location setting to 'While Using' the app.
This will prevent the app from accessing your location when it's not active.
In the Safari web browser, consider using a search engine other than Google .
This still won't prevent advertisers from knowing your rough location based on IP address on any website.
