I'm trying to get my head around the keychain changes, and whether they fix one particular annoyance that I have with iOS.
Currently I have the Gmail app installed on our family iPad. My Google account details are therefore stored in the keychain.
If I use the Google Maps app, it PERSISTENTLY asks the user to sign in (using my account already in the keychain). My wife doesn't want her location searches saved to my account, nor those of my kids.
I don't want to login to the Google Maps app, but Google seems to want to force me to, even though this is a shared device. There doesn't appear to be an option to say "no, thanks, stop f%*king asking".
So instead I use Google Maps in Safari and cringe if I really need to use Apple Maps - slooooooooow.
Can anyone shed any light on whether I'll be able to block the sharing of my Google account details between Google apps?
- smackfu 12y agoNo, this actually goes the other direction. If you have stored your Google login credentials in Safari, then the Google Maps app could login automatically without prompting you. Currently only apps from the same developer can share keychain items. Apple would rather you buy two iPads than share one, and their OS is designed around that.
