Amateur history buffs can tap into the ‘Historical imagery’ feature on Google Earth and check out imagery dating back to the World War II era in some of the world’s largest cities.
If you’re an avid TikToker, you may have noticed people using Google Street View to see how their neighborhoods have changed over the past 20 years and stroll down memory lane.
But as ZDNet reports, Google Earth actually allows users to view imagery going back much further—all the way to the 1940s in some areas—with its Historical imagery feature. However, it takes a little legwork to get the feature up and running.
First, download and open the Google Earth app (available on iOS or Android).
