Have an option to see the year of the Satellital Image shown in the WME
Always shows the actual year but not the year when was taken that Sat Image. Will be really helpful to know that.

Great timing! We’re currently working on displaying the date of the satellite image. Keep an eye out for updates on the WME.

Not having this information (imagery date) obviously available has long frustrated me. SV shows it; why not satellite imagery?
Thanks!

This topic has been brought up in many meetups. The usual response is that the date is available and can easily be surfaced in WME.
However, this feature is still not implemented so here's the official suggestion for it. Could you please display the capture date for both Satellite and Additional Imagery?

Display the year of the satellite imagery currently displayed on-screen/ like you can do in Google Earth and what is already have available to editors in WME street view. This lets us know if imagery is out of date when diagnosing URs. Much like Google Earth, this could be restricted to only fairly close zoom levels, which is where we would need it most anyway.
