Farewell to Followers on Google Maps from September 2025

Hello Local Guides,

I recently came across the update that the “Following” feature will no longer be available on Google Maps starting September 2025.

This means I will be losing my 373 followers who have been supporting my journey as a Local Guide. While this feels a little sad, I’m truly grateful for the encouragement, motivation, and positivity I’ve received from all of you till now :folded_hands::blue_heart:

Let’s continue to stay connected here on Local Guides Connect and keep sharing our contributions together :globe_showing_europe_africa::sparkles:

This is also visible to me as same like this @saidevadiga , I know that it is totally disgusting thing for all of us but we can’t do anything in this as this is a newly updated policy of Google Maps. If they are removing this, then they might bring some new features in order to enhance our Google Maps more positively

True, I feel the same :folded_hands: Though it’s disappointing to lose the followers feature, hopefully Google Maps will introduce some new updates that make our contributions even more meaningful :+1: @AbhijeetUniyal
