Can you elaborate on that? because even if you upload them manually, people will still be able to track your location. The only benefit of uploading changes manually I can see would be, that you get more control over the timestamp that will be associated with the changeset. Currently the timestamp is most likely equal to the time you've visited the location.

Holding back changes brings a good amount of further complexity like: implementing a local storage for changesets, resolving conflicts, as well as the requirement of additional UI components. So this would require a decent amount of work and should therefore not be expected soon.

For everyone who struggles with this: For now we can only recommend creating a secondary OSM account that is not linked to you in any way (note that OSM allows creating multiple accounts per user)

But not live. I can be some where else if I upload the changeset manually. Currently, someone can track me live.

That's a good recommendation!
