Fixed: Flat for months but suddenly a sharp upward trend!

I was just showing my Maps profile to a likely new Local Guide and noticed this sudden sharp upward forecast in all-time photo views :thinking: +659M new really! Is this a real possibility or some horribly wrong forecast haha! Anyone else noticed this?

I rarely watch that graph @AdamGT, but just saw the same steep curve:

My guess, it is a bug :pensive_face:, but we will see …

I believe everyone has, @AdamGT


Hopefully it will be fixed quickly, and I know that @MortenCopenhagen already highlighted it on a reply different topic. Thanks for starting a specific topic about that. I was just coming here to do the same :grin:

I’m seeing a strange issue with my Google Maps contributions. My photo views, which were around 11 lakhs yesterday, are now showing ‘No Views’! Has anyone else experienced this?Does anyone knows why this had happened.

Oh I agree @WilfriedB a bug but wouldn’t it be nice :rofl: I too rarely monitor this graph but just happened to catch my eye as I was sharing my profile with a neighbour.

At first I thought it might be a pre-Christmas bonus @ErmesT :rofl: but obviously it’s an error. I hadn’t seen @MortenCopenhagen’s mention.

Yes very cool @aaryesdee. Have you checked your Maps profile to see if you you have also been so gifted?

If you like big numbers @AdamGT , count the views of your edits. As of yesterday I have 161,928,663 views of 2,593 edits. But you need to do the counting by yourself - Maps doesn’t help at all except for showing the views for edits only on desktop :pensive_face: .

Don’t worry, @AdamGT

Hello @Gouri.PS,
the steep increase in the graph happened to many, if not all of us. Please see Flat for months but suddenly a sharp upward trend! .

Regarding the “No views yet”: Did you change your profile name? If so, it is just a matter of time. Please see here: Sudden lost thousands of photos and reviews after changing profile - #26 by MoniDi

Hello @AdamGT , @WilfriedB, I’m seeing two issues. I have a sharp increase in my graph, and my contributions are also showing ‘No Views yet’.

I’m not understanding your numbers here @WilfriedB 161,928,663 views of 2,593 edits? What exactly are you referring to here, views of edits? Perhaps add a screenshot!

I have just realized that I share the same situation as everyone else. I hope this is resolved very soon.

Same here @adamGT … I see the same graph here and was wondering about it.

Thanks @PrasadVR. Yes @ErmesT kindly referred Morten’s post earlier here in this thread and as it was deep in that topic makes it difficult for others to see.

@AdamGT I wasn’t aware of that for a long time, until somebody mentioned it here on Connect: Only when you look at My Contributions → Edits on the desktop, you also see some showing views (in my screenshot the German word “Aufrufe”). You might have to scroll back a bit, to find the most recent. Analyzing all my edits, I found around half of them do show views with a total number much higher than my photo views.

Initially, I was believing, they appear only for certain types of edits, such as adding a place, but over time, I found views for all categories.

No @WilfriedB I didn’t change my profile name.
