Hello Fellow LGs,

I noticed this refreshed new look for the “Updates By visitors” tab on the Google Maps[1]. It appears far more vibrant, appealing, and visually engaging compared to the previous version.

Yes, I have posted it for ‘Android Mobile App’ as mentioned. It’s likely being rolled out in a phased manner, @PrasadVR.

This is a strange thing @Kumaarsantosh. I no longer see the old version, nor the new. There’s only a blank white space to upload my photo, and underneath has a box labeled “Say something about your photos”.

It’s likely being rolled out in phases, @tony_b. Yes, a blank white space appears if other visitors have already uploaded photos for that specific POI using ‘Add a photo update’ option. I also get the same blank white space in such cases.

Oh!! I wasn’t aware of that variation @Kumaarsantosh. Thanks for identifying that.
