I have added 50 photosphere to get certified. But am not able to turn ON, “Available for hire” button. As shown in the above image. Give me a solution.
Hi @ZedTransforms ,
Be patient. This is not automatically instant when you reach 50 published photos but may lag a few days. As far as I can remember, I had some 70 or even more when the feature got unlocked (although at that time I was shooting and publishing at a speedy pace).
Until then, keep adding content as some of your published photo spheres might even disappear (get removed) so make sure you are safely above the 50 limit and won’t drop below should anything like that happen.
You are eligible to become a Street View Trusted Photographer after you publish 50 approved 360 photos on Google Maps. After you have published 50 Maps-approved 360 photos, please make sure you have turned on the “Available for Hire” switch found in settings in the Street View App. You will then see an invitation in the Street View app to be marked as Trusted.
After accepting, you’ll then receive an email: please complete the form linked in the email, and, upon verification of your published 360 photos, your information will be listed on the for-hire index within one business week and you’ll have access to the Trusted badge.
It’s important that your images meet Google Maps publishing criteria and policies and have a minimum of 14MP otherwise they won’t be published to Maps or count towards your trusted status. (Your contributions page shows all images you submitted including those not published and not approved to Maps.)

Dear friend, I have added more than 50 spheres and how can I know whether they are approved or not. Also, Once I turn ON the “Available for Hire’” switch, It automatically turns off when I close the app. Any IDEA.
Hi,
I’m now a trusted photographer. Is there any way to acces a different platform to upload business photos?
Thanks.
I would like to know that as well, showing a number of approvedd pictures could help us do more effort in order to take more spheres.
This is my profile: https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/116211288597781910540/photos
Cool, but looks like you ONLY post photospheres.
Great pics, by the way!
My photos though are mostly POIs and the spheres are there too.
But I guess I figured out. To check this number of 360º pictures is taking a look at your profile in the Street View app, it says that I have 8 pictures there.
Street View App says I’ve got 66 360º photos. I am a certified photographer. The only thing is that I don’t know how to upload a business tour to the Google My Business…
HI, I’m also a newly Google trusted photographer. Have you found anything to upload the business photos and connect them?? Thank you
Yes, I had to look different sites trough the web for months untill I found answers. I think this should change…
You only have to publish the 360 photo and conect them as you did with the first 50 photos you had to take with the street view app. Then set a location and will be done. There is also a paid app (I don’t remember it’s name) where you can do the same things that the street view app but also stick the images (I’m not really sure of this).
Hope it helps you.
is their is any time limit …? for publishing the 50 photographs
But why 14MP? Latest smartphones have 12MP and take pictures better than 16MP or even 23MP older smartphones? As i understand somebody if has Google Pixel with 12.3MP wouldn’t be approved?
You are aware that it’s photo spheres they speak about.
Or if you like to clarify what you are speaking about so we all can join in.
You should have received a link to here https://www.google.com/streetview/businesses/publish/ Make sure you use Chrome, it does not work in other browsers.
But it’s going away at the end of March 2017. There are instructions there on where to sign up with the 3rd party vendors that will be supporting the moderation tool for TIPs.
Good luck and welcome to the club!

It’s about 360, wrote by (Connect Moderator)
I want to upgrade my Galaxy S5 that has 16MP with S7 with 12MP. Will accept Google my 360?
Still 14MP criteria is for spheres, but your question start to make more sens now.
After you have taken a sphere, as you probably know, you take more then 1 photo during this process.
Check the size of your sphere in pixels. It should be around 8000x4000 and if you calculate this to MP it will be around 32MP.
Your phone show the spec of 13MP for one flat image, and they don’t have a 14MP size limit on google maps.
Please check the stats button on your profile there you can see the stats of your profile like how many images google has approved and what is the local guide of yours. for updating street view it will take 24 hours so be patients. please do not tension
Hello Dear Friend,
Your Question is not clear. Anyway, you can connect photo spheres using the Street view App. For more details. post the issue in the relevant forum.
Excellent and will be accepted by Google .
