Although the tool Google Maps is truly useful, even being used to solve crimes, the truth is that it can also violate people’s privacythat is why in this note we will tell you how to make a house or a person out of focus.
It was in February 2005 when the first version of Google Maps was launched, a map app server on the web belonging to Alphabet Inc. Since then, Internet users have come to it to look for addresses, with scrollable maps and photos taken by satelite.
Although for businesses, offices and schools to appear on Google Maps is essential to be able to be located correctly and easily, at the same time, when see houses and people clearlyit can become an unsafe site for personal privacy.
However, in case a person does not want certain houses, residences, cars or human beings to appear on the satellite images and on the map, Google has implemented a solution.
How to make Google Maps blur a person, house or car?
It should be noted that automatically all the faces that appear in the images taken by the most popular search engine in the world are out of focus in order to protect the identity of individuals. Although perhaps the person who appears in them does not want her full body to be seen in the image.
In this same situation, you can find an address, a residence or perhaps a car, where Google is responsible for removing the information from numbers or signs that can lead to the identification of those who live in said places. However, you can request that the property be completely blurred so that no more details are seen when someone passes through the site.
The process for applying blur on people, houses, and cars is actually quite simple. To do this, the first thing to do is go to Google Maps, and then activate the function of street view.
Once the tool has been opened, it has to be located on the site, person or object that you want to have greater protection with the blur. Already in the selected entity, you must click on the three points that appear in the upper left part of the screen next to the address.
After opening the options, you have to go to “Report a problem”. Which will open a new window named “Report an inappropriate Street View image”there should appear the box previously selected in which the object to be blurred will appear.
Later, at the bottom two options will appear, but the one to choose is “Request Blurred” and “What do you want us to blur?”where different options will be given.
We recommend you read:
After finishing filling in the data, Google will review the request and, if approved, the requested changes will be made, that is, the person or any other captured object will be blurred.
