Hi guys.
I just started developing my own apps and I am very new to Swift and development for iOS, but I had an idea for a great app that utilizes the "Look around" feature that Maps provide, but I can't find any information about this in the documentation for MapKit. Does anyone know if it currently possible to enable a view for this?

Thanks in advance!

There isn't a developer API for Look Around but we love determining interest. If you wouldn't mind filing some feedback, that would be awesome.

Is there any news? would love to use this! And is there already browser access to look around? or only via the app?

There still isn't an API for Look Around in Xcode 13 for iOS 15. I've submitted a request and hopefully others will too. I imagine there are a number of apps that would make good use of it.

We need a look around API! Sure it will be released! But when?
