How To Blur Your House on Google Maps: A Simple Guide
Hello, this is Tracy from Techimperatives.net! Today, we’ll break down the steps on how to blur your house on Google Maps to maintain your privacy.”
Step-by-Step GUIDE:
Step 1: Open Google Maps
First, navigate to Google Maps and type in your home address. Make a clear screenshot of the image you want to blur. Ensure you can clearly see the details that need to be blurred out.
Step 2: Navigate to the Google Street View feature
Now, scroll down and click on the small yellow icon on the bottom right, shaped like a person (Pegman). Drag this icon onto the map precisely at your house location to enter the Google Street View mode.
Step 3: Verify the Image
Once in Street View, verify it’s the correct house or area you want to mask. Now, go to “Report a Problem” found on the bottom right corner of the screen.
Step 4: Request blurring
Next, you’ll need to request the blurring. In the “Request blurring” section, choose “My home”. After that, you’ll have to provide more details, like your address and why you want to blur your house image. Remember, once Google blurs the image, it’s a permanent change.
Step 5: Submit the request
Once you’re satisfied with the information provided, click “Submit.” Google will review the request, and if approved, will blur the image of your house on Google Maps.
It’s crucial to understand that this process won’t happen overnight. It may take a few days, or even weeks, for Google to review and process the request.
