Google sorry for bot peeing on Apple

Washington: A controversial image of what appeared to be the Android bot peeing on Apple’s logo in Google Maps was spotted recently. Though, the image has now been removed by Google, this awkward figure was pointed out by Team Android which stated that the image, at the time of posting, was located in Rawalpindi, Pakistan on Google Maps. 

 

The image did not appear on the satellite view of the area of course, so the only manipulation made was to the map view of the region. The image also appeared to users on mobile devices as well.

Also, this wasn’t the only unsettling image which was floating around in Google Maps. The report also identified at what seems to be a big Skype logo around Lahore, Pakistan as well.

 

But seems like the company isn’t guarding the changes carefully as another message was found nearby too. Google has identified all these problems and removed the abrupt images.It is unclear for how long these images were present in Google’s Maps. At that moment, nothing was said on this by Google. 

 

However, later, in an emailed statement to The WashingtonPost, a Google spokesperson Mara Harris apologised saying “sorry for this inappropriate user-created content; we’re working to remove it quickly” and that “the vast majority of users who edit our maps provide great contributions.”
