Cannot upload pictures in maps

I got few businesses already where I cannot upload pictures anymore.

I wonder if they blocked me, Google blocked me or just some android updates gone wrong.

I have already pictures uploaded on those business before, but when I try to upload now it says that the pictures has been uploaded but in reality I never seen upload starting and then I don’t see those pictures in my Your contributions/ photos.

Please help

@CriFinder recently this started to happen. Now often we do not see a status bar showing photo (s) is being uploaded. It just shows us the points and uploaded. But it doesn’t show in the business or in Your contribution unless it is approved. These photos have been rejected or still in verification that is why you do not see them.

I have seen that waiting 24 hours is good to see if my photos are approved or not. Then if I found a photo has not been approved, I will make another attempt.

I was facing the same trouble, actually it happens to me today, I don´t know how to fix this problem on phone app, but if you use your Google Maps on PC, you can uploard your pictures to your without any trouble. That was exactly what I did to solve this litle malfunction.

First you close the google map application completely

And then Update google map. And restart your device and then start uploading again.

Same thing happened to me

Yes you may be right.

But where do you see if your pictures are rejected?

Bcs to me it looks like the upload never started…like if the business blocked pictures upload?

This worked like a charm. Thanks

It happens only on few businesses.

Like if the biz itself blocked the upload.
