How To Delete Photos On Google Maps, Easy And Not Hard

YOGYAKARTA - Google Street View often displays photos of places in their application, which are taken from public uploads on the internet. It also makes some people object because it is considered a violation of privacy, especially if the photos shown show their homes.

The photo display on Google Street View was originally intended to make it easier for users to find the location they are looking for. However, this has often been protested by people around the world because it is considered not to have permission to display the image.
