sorry to say this won’t work using the ordinary mobile cam. Also, there will a lot of disorientation for the pic if you do so. There are few gadgets available to make 360 photos, but that requires a 3rd party app as well. though for the better and good quality photos I would personally recommend using 360-degree camera.

You will find a lot of explanation about taking 360 photos with your phone on the official Google Maps Help:

Create or import 360 photos

Publish and connect 360 photos with the Street View app

Personally I find an higher quality in photos taken with a phone, @Sanjay_viswa , if compared with the photo taken with my ThetaV, even if of course you must be very careful with the phone to have a good stitching.

How many photo did you added on Google maps right now, @Chandboss ?

Can you share one of them? I am very curious about the technique you are suggesting
