Google Street view again photographs Swiss streets. People who recognize themselves on the images may ask that the photo be pixelated. Just send an online message to Google.

The online service “Google Street View” is useful when you want to visit an unknown region. Google offers 360 -degree photos of many important streets for this purpose. These photos are on “Google Maps” or in the “Google Earth” office program.
Google, however, updates these photos very irregularly. Since April 2025, Google is once again photographing streets, houses and landscapes in Switzerland. The “Saldo” consumer magazine was the first to mention it. According to the indications of Google, the shots will be carried out until October 2025.
Google Street View censors images on request
Not everyone agrees. Google anonymously anonymously anonymously anonymities and registration plates, but the software is not always reliable, errors occur. Thus, faces or license plates can sometimes remain visible. This is problematic, because external people could know where people are or even where they live.
The persons concerned should not be done and may require Google that the images be made unrecognizable. To do this, you must open the image concerned under Google Maps and click in the bar at the bottom right on “Make the image unrecognizable”. It is then possible to choose why a part of the image should be blurred.
The “Apple Maps” cartography service also offers this possibility. The one who wants all his house to be unrecognizable must write an email to [email protected]. The private address and information is necessary for Apple to identify the house precisely.
