I need to determine who is following me due to stalker. I have had a restraining order recently expire and suddenly have random followers. Could we boost the safety of Local Guides by allowing them to access basic info on followers besides user names and stats, etc? I’m bit over being “followed” already.

Hi @Rhondda
Are you aware that you can restrict your profile in Google Maps (only in apps - not on Desktop)? This will give you the option to accept and reject followers.
Find it under Settings. First, tap your profile pic. Then Settings. Then Personal content. Then scroll all the way down to find “Restricted profile”.
It may also give you the option to kick existing followers, but this I’m not 100% sure about. Your feedback on this would be great.
For each, you can open their Maps profile to check who they might be. And you can always change your profile name for extra protection.
All the best

Update. Even when you have not restricted your profile you can remove anyone from following you in the Android app. And then use restricted profile as a second layer of protection should you find it nessesary.
