How to hide your home on online maps?
Thanks to the Street View function, we can literally walk around the city without leaving our homes. But there is a downside: any intruder can see your house or parked car.
If you want to hide your property in public photos, there is one fairly simple way – ask the mapping service to blur or delete the image.
To delete your home on Google Maps:
1. Open the maps and find your home there in Street View.
2. Press the three dots and select “Report a Problem”.
3. In the window that opens, adjust the image in such a way as to focus on the part of it where your property is visible.
4. In the “Request Blur” section, select the reason for the blur: “My Home ”, “My car” or “Person”.
5. Enter your email address and submit the form.
Once your message has been processed, your property will be hidden. For Apple Maps, you need to send an email to “ [email protected]
” and ask to hide the desired house. Be sure to attach the address and other details so that employees can determine the exact location.
