Bug? google maps answering yes/no question points disappeared

A few days ago more than 10,000 points and answers I answered along the years - disappeared.

I recall to have answered more than 14,000 answers, and now it shows only 1,797.

Please check.

Hi @Ran_Moneta , I see that you have around 1700 answers right now

Probably you missed the points due to an update of the setting for Google’s My Activity . Please read: How do I delete my answers to questions on Google Maps?

If on My Activity your setting is different from this one here below, your answer are automatically deleted and the points not given.

As you can see in the help page - From: Answer questions :

  1. Make sure you have the latest updated Google Maps.
  2. Make sure that your Web & App Activity is on.

Hi @ErmesT

Thank you for the answer.

My settings are as you described.

Can it be that it was temporarily changed without me knowing about it, and due to that change the points disappeared?

Not likely, @Ran_Moneta .

Many have reported that they got a security/privacy email from Google suggesting to change the settings.

Unfortunately you can not get the points back. Make some new points. Let me know if you want some tips.

Cheers

Morten

Yes, @Ran_Moneta

What is possible is that you changed it and then switched it back.
