cannot select or upload related photos

App: Google Mas IOS

Problem: related photos/videos are not shown on the list for uploading, so I gave up uploading often.

When: When I choose and post related photos from my photo album.

Settings: “allow all the photos”

It’s been long years to have this problem and I’d like to know the reason.

Hi @L-coco

I remember this has been reported before. One user figured out that if he duplicated the latest photo in his camera roll (on his iPhone) then one of the two would show up in Maps. I think this issue has been escalated. Am I correct on this, @DeniGu ?

Cheers

Morten

Hi @L-coco ,

Can you please share a bit more about your issue:

  • When you say that “related photos/videos are not shown”, do you mean that similar/duplicate photos and videos don’t appear on the list, or just any photos/videos that are related to the place you want to upload them to?

  • From where are you trying to upload media: from the Explore tab in Maps, from Contribute > Add photos, from the place’s page on Maps, or directly from your Gallery app?

  • Are your Location Services on?

  • What’s the version of your Google Maps app?

Additionally, I wanted to let you know that I will move your post to the How-tos section of Connect which is the best place to ask questions about Maps and raise an issue. Learn more about Connect in this guide.

Thanks for tagging me, @MortenCopenhagen !

Hi @DeniGu

I was too lazy to find the thread… Sorry.

But now I did look it up. Please see

https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/General-Discussion/Recent-PHOTO-SUBMISSION-BUG-when-using-iPhone/m-p/3696949/highlight/true#M1416263

It took a long time for me to understand the issue then. I believe this is the same bug @L-coco just reported.

@L-coco would you care to read the other thread and let us know if you think it is the same bug?

Cheers

Morten

Thank you for sharing the other thread from January, @MortenCopenhagen , that’s super helpful!

While the earlier issue has been escalated, @L-coco mentioned that they’d been unable to see all related photos/videos for years, so I wanted to check if it’s a different case. The report from January said that the issue had started recently, in October/November 2023.
