I mostly used the Street View app to capture 360° spherical panoramas, offline, on-device.

Now that Google has killed the app, I can’t capture those photos! The app worked fine a month ago, why not let me use it, as it worked offline‽

No one seems to be talking about this issue.

I haven’t found suitable replacement apps to capture photospheres on a (i)Phone. The suggested Street View Studio doesn’t let you capture Photo Spheres!

Try GCam. It's not officially supported by Google outside of Pixel devices, but people have tried porting it for other phones. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/

On Android, you may be able to use e.g. Google Camera or F-Droid's Focal.

Maybe you could go somewhere and not be on your phone for a while?

This is kind of your answer right? It’s not the issue to others that it is to you. If Google sunsetted Search, for example, I think people would talk about that issue.
