Quick tip of the day

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. 

Here‘s how to submit a request to Google: 

  • 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.
  • Click Report a problem. You’ll find this in the bottom right or by clicking the three-dot menu on a photo.
  • Complete the form, then click Submit.

🍎 Now do the same with Apple Maps. The steps are different for this one.
