I love pixel phones but I still buy iPhones because I know nothing ever changes in the Apple world, and if it does it’s slow.

Google makes amazing things and just takes them away so what’s the point of being excited anymore.

Stupid Google, this was a great camera feature. I use it all the time.

Don't forget guys, Google My Maps is kept alive by one single Google employee. When he leaves the company, they'll kill the feature for sure.

It wouldn't surprise me if there was one single engineer that kept Photo Spheres alive.

I can't find the name, but he used to reply to people on the support forum. I can't even find the support forum now... They also killed the Android app in 2021.

I was ready to ask what the fuck are you on, until I re-read and spotted you talked about "Google my maps" and not "Google Maps".

Now how am I meant to make an oversized panorama a couple of times a year!?

But isn't that feature a crucial component of people adding 360° pictures to google maps?

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Maybe the Pixel team didn't talk to the Maps team. Maybe they did and the maps team said they didn't care. Maybe everyone involved in all of these features has since left the company. With Google, who knows?

The accuracy of this comment is amazing.
