Apple Maps Drops Flyover City Tours as iOS 26 Rolls Out
MacRumors first reported the unannounced removal following the iOS 26 rollout.
Overview
- MacRumors reports the automated city tour option disappeared around the iOS 26 launch.
- The Flyover icon that previously started tours in supported cities has been removed from Apple Maps.
- 3D Flyover imagery remains available in more than 350 cities, offering bird's‑eye views of landmarks and buildings.
- Flyover tours debuted in 2014 and relied on aerial data captured by small planes, with some regions excluded for privacy and security reasons.
- Apple has not announced or commented on the change, which had drawn little attention due to the feature’s limited use.
