Let's walk you through you how you can use Street View / Look Around feature in Apple Maps app for both iPhone and iPad. Explore Streets and New Places with Apple's Version of Street View in Apple Maps Using 'Look Around' Apple launched a new feature with Apple Maps in iOS 13 and iPadOS called Look Around. Essentially, it's like Street View from Google Maps, but obviously, less featured. It's a great way to explore places straight from your iPhone and iPad, or make sure what a certain location looks like without having to actually go there.

You can view everything in either full-screen mode or as a floating window. Tapping on a far section of the road will swiftly take you there, try it. While Apple's Street View-like implementation might not be as good as Google's but it surely does get the job done if you use Apple Maps. The one great thing about Apple's implementation is the fact how there's a slight parallax effect when you pan around, as if there's certain amount of depth in imagery being used.

How to View Old Street View Images Google will refresh its Street View data every few years in many areas, and you can see older Street View imagery using the desktop version of Google Maps. To do this, head to Now, bring up Street View by clicking and dragging the Street View icon (pictured below) and then releasing it while hovering over a street or road. You can also click on a location and then click again on the Street View thumbnail that appears at the bottom of the screen.

Where you live ultimately decides how much historical Street View data you’ll have available to you.
