'Add a Photo' Link has Disappeared

I got an email today saying “we haven’t seen you for a while”. I’ve been trying to contribute, but for some time now the ‘Add a Photo’ link hasn’t been showing up on Google Maps. I’ve tried various types of locations, various browsers, various computers. Can anyone help?

Below is a place where I’ve previously contributed a photo, but now with no option to do so.

Hi @Downes

I see the photo for the business (here the link) do not appear on Desktop

BTW, if you click on the photos, you will find the button for adding photos in there

You can use that link to upload your photos

Hello @Downes ,

Thanks for reaching out!

I’ll just let you know that I have relabelled your post to How-tos as it is the place where Local Guides ask and answer questions regarding issues they may be facing.

Please let us know if the answer provided by @ErmesT was helpful to you.

Wow, that’s really user-unfriendly.

Also, it appears that the only way to add a photo is if there’s already a photo. Example: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Cambridge+Forest+Estates,+ON+K0A+2M0/@45.3577771,-75.2612548,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m12!1m6!3m5!1s0x4cce7d004574d17b:0x7d0fc7fa8c4ff6ea!2zQ2Fmw6kgU3VjcsOp!8m2!3d45.3136419!4d-75.0878747!3m4!1s0x4cce7a7b2ab417d7:0xaba6bb15521afd9b!8m2!3d45.3577771!4d-75.2525014
