2022
UPDATE (November 9, 2022): As of November 9, 2022, the Street View app for iOS and Android is no longer available for download on Google Play and the App Store. If you already have the app on your mobile device, you will continue to be able to use it until March 2023. Read more about how to enjoy your favorite features on other platforms in the Google Maps Help Center. If you’re a Street View trusted photographer, head to the Street View trusted Help Center for more details.
UPDATE (July 19, 2021): As of July 19, 2021, new enrollments into the Street View trusted program are put on hold. At this time, we do not award the trusted badge to new contributors who’ve reached the minimum number of photos for membership, and do not list new professionals on the for-hire index.
We know that Local Guides love to contribute in different ways on Google Maps, and with the introduction of the new Street View app features in December 2020, now anyone can contribute to Street View, too.
While Street View imagery appears on Google Maps, Local Guides and Street View trusted photographers are two different programs. To join the Street View trusted program, you need to publish at least 50 360 images approved by Google Maps and follow the instructions in the Street View app. However, you no longer need to be a Local Guide to become a trusted photographer and have access to the exclusive Street View trusted support page.
This means that Connect may not always be the most suitable place to ask a question about Street View. Whether you’re a trusted photographer or a Street View enthusiast, read on to learn where to find the best answers to your questions.
