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 

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

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
Though it’s disappointing to lose the followers feature, hopefully Google Maps will introduce some new updates that make our contributions even more meaningful
