Blur your house from Apple Maps' "Look Around" aka Street View.

Apple Maps has a similar feature to Google's Street View called "Look Around", which might show the details of your house. If Apple has pictures of your house, you can request them to be blurred.

Although it has less comprehensive coverage than Google, Apple Maps has a similar view called “Look Around.” If Apple covers your house, I recommend you request to blur your house.

Remember: a privacy principle I abide by is that the harder it is to find information about you, the more private and secure you will be. This also makes you more secure. If bad actors can’t find you, they can’t harm you.

A picture of your house shows lots of things that can be helpful for a bad actor. A street view image will show your door, windows, vehicles, other items on your property, potentially security cameras, fences, or other security features. All this information is valuable for a bad actor that might be targeting you. Deny them this easy resource!
