Is there a way to see which objects haven't been updated in years? (feddit.org)

Adding new shops and trees is easy but finding outdated info is tedious if you have to check every point individually. I just thought it would be nice to have a map layer that shows objects by how long ago their last edit was, so you can either update it or set a new "last checked" date if everything is still correct. Maybe with a color code, as in everything older than 10 years would be red, edited in the last 3 is green etc. Does something like that exist?

And I think StreetComplete also asks you to verify that old info is still correct, and to correct it if not.

Yes, this is correct.
