Protecting Your Privacy: How to Blur Your House on Google Street View

In today's digital world, maintaining privacy is crucial. One effective way to protect your privacy is by blurring your home on Google Street View.

For example, even celebrities like Drake have used this feature to obscure their homes.

Follow these steps to blur your home:

Go to Google Maps and search for your address.

Switch to Street View.

Click the three dots in the top left corner.

Select “Report a Problem.”

Complete the form, enter your email, and submit.

Note: This action is permanent and cannot be reversed.

While this is a great privacy tool, it can sometimes frustrate real estate agents who use Street View to help potential buyers preview homes and neighbourhoods.

If you're concerned about privacy, consider this option to keep your home hidden from public view.
