How Google maps is counting our photos?
My minimum photos I post are 30 photos. When Google maps post it they give me like 130 points and it is good but it seems my numbers don’t move anywhere.
My last posting were all of them 200 and plus points but it doesn’t update anything on my account 
.
Even sometimes, I post photos with my reviews but the photos disappear from my reviews.
Is there any problem in the page?
Thank you for your help.

Hello @SunshineNY
It’s 5 points for every photo posted. Although the points update could be slow,maybe some of your photos were marked private as well.Note that sometimes if the photos are not up to the standard prescribed by Google or don’t follow the guidelines they may be marked private or hidden from public views. If they are dark,blurry,sometimes human face involved,selfies,near duplicate,redundant etc.
The same goes for reviews. If it’s questionable,it could be hidden from the public view. All these activities are carried out by AI (very rarely by Google employees)
Nevertheless there are often bugs and glitches involved in the process and the AI makes mistakes as well. Therefore you could apply for your profile to be checked and legitimate contributions that are missing will be rectified.
There is a post by @MortenCopenhagen tittled Typical-Delays-in-Contribution-Stats . Seeing I have tagged him,I believe he might soon give you a more comprehensive answer. He also has other posts about hidden reviews,Photography on the maps etc
Hope this answers your questions.
Happy guiding
Cheers
LEP POZDRAV 
… TUDI JAZ IMAM PODOBNE TEŽAVE PA JIH MANJ “ZAOBJAMEM” V OBJAVI…

ZA SVOJE INTERNET OBJAVE UPORABLJAM SAMO MOBILNIK… 
SREČNO DALJE …
I took a look at your photos, and find that you are mostly not complying with the guidelines for photos on Google Maps. Uploading similar photos is an issue. Uploading the same photos repeatedly or to more than one pin is reason for removal from the Local Guides program.
Please read this document where you will find this sentence:
Users who duplicate photos across locations (or post images that infringe on copyrights) will be removed from the program. This might also be of interest to you, @Perko .
I shared some examples of what can be considered similar photos here.
I would suggest that you limit the number of photos you upload to a place on Google Maps to one only = your very best shot. Many people use Google Maps to find places, so images that can assist people in finding the place are a lot more valuable than 5-7 shots of the same food dish or museum exhibit.
Lastly, I would like to point out that the pop-up points counter you see right after contributing are not necessarily showing the number of points you will receive. Many contributions will need to be approved first. And the contribution stats are not updated as frequently as you might expect. Please see Typical Delays in Contribution Stats. (Oh, I see now that @SholaIB already shared this link. Thanks, Shola.)
I believe following the photo guidelines is likely to eliminate some or all of the issues you reported.

** @SholaIB **
Thank you for your reply. I don’t think for not following the rules but it’s too slow.
As an example, Why my photos don’t stay in the review??
They are there when I post them but few days later. They disappear??.
You said 5 points for 1 photo and I have 130 points as another example but I am still with the same amount of points no updating .
Maybe the page is slow.
Thank you for your reply.
For repeating the photo as you mentioned it was not my fault because as I said before. I posted and it disappeared few days later and when I updated something on the review. They ask me again to add a photo. For me, there are no photos then, I posted again and it became duplicated.
My problem is when I post it and they tell me a big number of points but there is no change?
You still will need to delete all duplicates and similar images if your want to protect your account.
The symptoms you describe are most likely caused by connection issues. I have seen photos can be delayed for a day or two, but this happens typically if you upload a ton of photos in short succession via a slow internet connection.
I recommend you never follow the prompts when Google Maps asks you to add some photos. They will often suggest you upload photos that are already uploaded. I always keep track of which photos I have uploaded and disregard those “stupid” prompts to upload photos. I know this is crazy and should be fixed. But Google does not tend to such issues will much urgency.
All the best

There is a limit to how many photos you can upload to one pin (at the same time?), but I don’t recall the number. It could be 50 or 30 images. I stick to one image (or max 2-3) so I never hit this ceiling.

Ok, I will and thank you
I post a lot maybe this is why Google maps refuses them.
Yes, sometimes, Google maps tells me there is a limit and I have to stop.
