Hello @MagoDiAz
Check to see that you have the latest update of Google Maps and also, try clearing the temporary (cache/memory) storage that it uses on your device. The steps detailed here will help you with this. However, the cause of duplicate photos might be a slow Internet connection.

Hi @MagoDiAz almost any refresh will load up duplicates of the images currently. If you open a photo from your profile then go back to the profile you will see two of everything. Hopefully it will get addressed soon.

Hello @MagoDiAz ,
Than you for reaching out!
Please try what it was suggested to you in the previous comments and let us know if it helps.
Meanwhile, I am going to move your post to the How-tos section, the place where Local Guides ask questions related to Connect and Google Maps.

Hi @MagoDiAz
I reviewed your recent photo contributions and noticed:
A) there are only very few duplicates
B) there are quite a few redundant photos = near duplicates. Such photos should not be uploaded to Google Maps because they don’t carry value to Maps users. Just changing the zoom or angle a bit does not justify uploading more shots.
A few days ago you uploaded photos to Leonardo da Vinci’s Vineyard. There you have added one photo twice = a real duplicate. This can easily happen if you follow Google’s suggestions to uploade photos to places you have visited.
To Ristorante Pizzeria La Regina - Limido Comasco (co) you have uploaded 3 near-duplicates of the same dish (with lemon slices on both sides).
In any case we should ideally review our lists of photos contributions regularly and delete duplicates and such near-duplicats manually.
I try to avoid near-duplicates by not taking such photos in the first place.
Currently I don’t think your few issues are due to a system error. It looks pretty much like many others local guides’ lists of photo contributions.
All the best
Morten

Hi @AdamGT thank you for your suggestion
Especially in recent months Google Maps (beta version 7201) on the phone often crashes or has other instability issues.
Lately, in addition to these problems, I have noticed that I often upload photos three times!
I tried to empty cash and restore all data.
I hope it works.
Hi @MagoDiAz
I have seen others that have had weird issues with duplicate photos (see for example the discussion here) so
it will be interesting to see how you go now that you have cleared your cache. In the meantime, I note that you mentioned that you are using a Beta version of Maps! This could also be a reason for the “double trouble” so if after clearing your cache you are still having this issue it might be a good idea to revert to a non-beta version. For your information, my Android version is 10.72.2. I look forward to hearing back from you.
