Can’t contribute photos or videos using google maps or browser

Hi,

I’m a level 7 LG. For the past month I am not able to contribute any photos to Google maps. I’m using Google maps iOS and Chrome iOS. All apps are updated. I don’t know of any of my reviews being hidden or reported. Any advice or point in direction would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.

If you share the link to your Maps profile, I might be able to spot something.

Hello @Insia welcome to the Local Guides Connect community!

What exactly means “I am not able to contribute any photos to Google maps”? What platform are you using (Windows, Android App or iOS App)? What did you try to upload? What message did you see?

Hi @WilfriedB

I’m using iOS Google maps and Chrome. I tried uploading photos to some of the places I have visited as well as some reviews I added. Not getting any messages, it’s just not getting uploaded :woman_shrugging:t2:.

My internet connection and everything else is fine. The photo format and sizes are same as before.

Hi @MortenCopenhagen

Here is the link.See what I’ve posted to Google Maps Level 7 Local Guide

How did you discover, they didn’t get uploaded @Insia? Did you check both: the POI listing you posted them to and also under My ContributionsPhotos? They should appear in both.

In total, you did upload 790 photos and 60 videos, but only 745 photos & videos went public. This 105 photos or videos cannot be seen by anybody, but do appear under My ContributionsPhotos.

Sorry, but the link to your profile is not working.

@Insia and @WilfriedB and @MortenCopenhagen

Wondering if it’s this issue which has been going on 2 months now

Good point. @Insia please check the link @TerryPG shared.

I don’t think so @TerryPG. The issue you are referring to, relates to upload from Google Photos to Maps. @Insia did not mention Google Photos. I rather suspect this issue: All photos posted since yesterday marked with "Not posted" Getting the message “Not posted” and giving up to soon.

Besides that, there are 105 photos or videos hidden by the SPAM filter. But most recent published photos are from August 2026 and the mots recent review from one week ago.

His link does appear under his name, link he provided does not work. I checked one of his latest contributions and saw the photos posted under Latest
