Hey @TravellerG
Awesome to connect with a fellow Level 10 LG rocking 380,000 points! Your dedication is inspiring! :raising_hands:

You were curious about my photo approach from my recent post:

  • My “Photo Mission”: I aim to capture the “must-see angles” that instantly help someone understand a place. Think a quick visual tour!*

  • Where You’ll Find My Lens: You’ll often find me snapping mouthwatering food spots (gotta share the deliciousness!) and the iconic landmarks that define our cities.

  • Making Photos Pop: For food, bright, tempting shots! For landmarks, clear angles that show their grandeur. It’s about making people say, “I want to go there!”

That’s an incredible achievement @Hanifahsan Congratulations
Would love to know about the best practices for sharing pictures on Google Maps to get more views. I only have a normal smartphone.

Hey! Thanks for the congrats! It’s awesome to connect.
You were asking about getting more views on Google Maps photos with a normal smartphone. Good news - that’s exactly what I use! My trick is simple:

  • Phone First, Then Edit: I always snap photos with my phone’s camera first.
  • Edit for Impact: I then take a little time to edit them, making sure the lighting and colors pop and the important details are clear.
  • Upload the Best: Finally, I share those edited photos to the map.
    So, even with a normal phone, taking the time to edit your photos before uploading can really make them stand out and get more views! Keep sharing your contributions!
