As convenient as Google Maps and Apple Maps are, it’s unnerving when your house and address number are visible to anyone on the internet. Here’s a secret: You can request a privacy blur over pictures of your home.

• Open Google Maps or the Street View gallery and look up your address.
• Tap the Street View photo you want to have blurred. The image has to show your face, home, license plate or other identifying information.
