Google has released a new update to its Google Maps Street View feature that includes over 220 billion photos in 100 countries. The majority of these photos were taken after the Street View function was launched in 2007. By choosing “See more dates” on the Google Maps app, users can now view how locations have evolved over time. ..
Open the Street View app and use it to explore a location. To see additional information about a location, tap anywhere on the image to see a pop-up menu. There should be a “See more dates” option next to the time it was taken. You can choose multiple dates, starting in 2007, when Google published a Street View image by tapping on it.
