Hi and welcome to Connect @Masha63

Regarding your question, you need to enable following on your Maps profile. I also suggest that you make sure that you have the latest version of both Google Maps and the Android OS. Finally you could try clearing your cache - logout from your account, clear your cache and login again. If however you do not have your profile restricted and both your Maps and Android app are up to date, the Followers option may still be rolling out to you area and if so, then please be patient.

Also, since you are new to Connect, for some great tips and to help you get your feet on the ground here I suggest that you should have a look at Your guide to Connect. Another good idea is to introduce yourself in the monthly Community Introduce Yourself

Keep guiding!

My google maps app is update, and I don’t have that option “profile privacy”. Thank you @AdamGT for your guidance.

@Masha63 try this. On desktop PC > Google Maps > Your contributions > Profile Settings > Uncheck Profile privacy. Do let me know how you go :wink:

@AdamGT I had tried this solution before, but It didn’t work.

Thanks again.

I’m just letting you know @Masha63 that as you’ve asked this question before which has now been answered I’m merging this second question of yours to that first post. We do this to keep Connect better organised.

Hi @Masha63 not all Maps functionality is available everywhere in the world. This can be for many reasons perhaps related to https://www.state.gov/iran-sanctions/

This is frustrating for individuals. I encourage you to keep contributing with the features that are available.

Hello @Masha63 ,

Thank you for reaching out. I see you followed the tips fellow Local Guides kindly shared with you.

In addition to that, I am marking @PaulPavlinovich 's reply as a solution, so other Local Guides can refer to it. The purpose of this feature is to help Local Guides find answers when searching on Connect. Please take a look at How do I mark comments as solutions? article.
