Editing Map Reviews

I often edit and then re-edit my posting. There are over 700. Often, I return to polish a review. In the last week Google Maps has changed, no longer allowing editing.

  1. Has anyone found a way around this access change?

Hello @CaryB ,

Welcome to Local Guides Connect.

I checked, and it’s still possible for me to edit reviews on Google Maps. Is it possible that you could be experiencing a bug, which is why you aren’t able to edit your reviews? If it’s a new update that they’re rolling out to a subset of people, I guess you can try deleting and reposting your revised review.

Regards,

Ethan

Hi @CaryB

Please make sure you are logged into the correct Google account.

Please share a screenshot so I can see any error messages or how you see that you can not edit a review.

Cheers

Morten

Hi @PrasadVR

Kindly explain the issue in more details.

I was able to to edit a review but it went pending immediately as shown below. This is not normal.

If more people would test and share screenshots I would be happy to escalate this.

Cheers

Hello @MortenCopenhagen , I mean to say, editing is possible for me. I am able to edit my review. I am not facing any issue. Perhaps my view was not conveyed properly in my previous comment.

Thanks, @PrasadVR

All is clear now.

My pending review edit has been approved, so I also don’t see an issue.

Cheers

@MortenCopenhagen editing worked fine for me a couple of minutes ago, but also yesterday.

Reg. “it went pending immediately”:

I see that frequently, if not always. On the desktop, I press refresh once or more times until it changes to “Just now” - usually within seconds.
