In some occasions we will want to deactivate the labels in Google Maps ; Although they can be very useful for finding certain places very easily, when we accumulate too many, they can be a distraction when looking for something specific..

Luckily, on all operating systems, both on computers and mobile devices, it is very easy to disable the labels in the Google maps application. A little further down we will see all the necessary steps that we must follow to achieve it. It will only take a few minutes.

The Google app has many extremely interesting options, from switching to a 3D version, changing the home address, knowing our exact location, to allowing us to control the music we listen to on Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube Music without leaving the app. ..
