As a regular maps users and contributor I very often notice these new changes maybe slightly quicker than others. I wonder has Anyone noticed the changes on the yes/No layout on the maps !!!
I noticed this last week but haven’t gotten the chance to share it here.
I know there has been a mix up as regarding check facts/Questions and answers. Nevertheless it’s good to note that the engineers behind the curtains of Google maps and connect are constantly working to solve these problems and to improve on the maps its a new nice layout.
The change took place long time ago, @SholaIB , but was applied only partially, So that entering from “know this place” in the business listing you had a kind of graphic, while entering from the contribute tab on your profile you had a different graphic.
Now it seems in the app is the new one everywhere, while accessing from the widget on Google Search for desktop you still have the old one
HI @SholaIB , I came across this feature last week. There is no notice when a new business populates so users may think they are answering questions for the same business. This should be fixed because it can cause users to input an incorrect response the first time the new business populates. I learned to follow the colors though. So if the business changes in your “yes or no” answers, so will the colors.
Sorry I haven’t followed up the reply on this. Thank you for all your replies. It’s interesting to know how we monitor these changes and innovation from Google.
ErmesT it’s interesting that it’s been on a good while as you said and I have only just noticed it.
Tiffany also said she only realised it’s there not too long ago so I don’t know.
gmapas I saw that post of yours now, therefore the answer is No.
Perhaps it’s just in a trial stage,I don’t know. Let’s how long it stays or if it will be changed. We really only wish that the feedback from genuine local guides should be considered and it help the engineering team at work behind the curtains.
I think the testing phase is already over, @SholaIB
The advantage of the new graphic is that you have all the questions about a single business in a pile, @TiffanyStockstill , so that it is easier to understand which business the questions are referring to.

One issue that I find little annoying is, there is no option to skip a particular place. Many times I would generally look for places just for fun. But this “Yes/No question” assumes that I have been there already and includes the place in my profile. There will be multiple questions and there is no way I can answer those since I haven’t been there. I was just surfing for fun!
I guess an option should be there, e.g. “skip” or “I haven’t been there”. Then all the question slides should disappear from my profile.
I have another request to make in the yes/no question segment.
On a few rare occasions I mistakenly gave wrong answer. It is not possible to rectify it because the next question appears automatically and I cant go back.
If you add a button to recall the last question, the answer can be corrected. It will make your data base more accurate and strong.
