Press and hold a street or address on the 2D map for a few seconds and start Street View.
You will now see an icon with two arrows at the bottom right of the screen. Tap on it
The Street View image will now shrink to one half of the screen, and Maps will display the live map with your location.
This view also makes Street View easier to use on your smartphone. The live map now shows you which streets you can also use with the 360-degree map.
If you want to see Street View in its entirety again, you can do so by tapping on the arrow symbol. The new feature will be rolled out starting February 1, 2021, and is included in version 10.59.1. If you can’t find the icon in the app yet, you’ll have to wait for the update or install Google Maps as an APK file.
