Why DuckDuckGo Use Apple Maps As Default?

The DuckDuckGo is a browser that was invented to keep in mind the privacy of the users. They protect the privacy more than any other browser. Earlier, DuckDuckGo was using Bing Maps, Here Maps, etc. as their default one. But there was a small privacy loop present that might be fatal.

The DuckDuckGo doesn't choose Google Maps as it stores users' data after searching for anything on the map. So, later in 2019, DuckDuckGo made a partnership with Apple for the Map services. So, DuckDuckGo has been using Apple Maps as their default Map server since 2019 for a privacy perspective.
