How do I use the Blur My House Feature?

Privacy Bee offers a "Blur My House" feature, which allows you to blur photos of your home on street view maps like Apple & Google Maps. Many street view maps reveal your home to anyone who wants to look; all they need is your address!

We offer the "Blur My House" feature to help you regain your privacy, but it is a permanent action that cannot be undone when you switch it on. Please ensure you want to take action before you blur your house, since it cannot be undone later.

Turning it on is straightforward. Go to the Account Settings page on the left navigation bar, and tap the "Controls and Preferences" tab.

Account Settings - Controls & Preferences Tab

Scroll to the bottom of the page for "Expanded Protection" and toggle on the "Map Blurring" to activate the optional features. (The button will turn bright blue when this feature is activated.)

A pop-up box will open, reminding you that this action is permanent and cannot be undone. To continue with the Map Blurring, just tap the red "Yes, Enable Permanently" button.

If you're unsure about taking action, you can come back to it later. It's as simple as that!
