I am slowly starting to take a few photospheres again after some years. I think that it is fun to shoot a few spheres again!
However, I have encountered an issue. When I attempt to publish the photospheres, it tells me that the media is not published, indicating that it is considered “Prohibited and restricted content”. I am requested to “edit the media and attemt to publish again”. I am using my Samsung Gear 360 (2017) and stitch using Hugin. EXIF-data is addet using EXIF pilot. Does anyone have any ideas to what I might do to be able to publish my photospheres?
Faces are blurred out, the photospheres I try to publish are photospheres from the streets (added to the correct location), and there is no illegal or obviously prohibited/restricted content in the spheres.
Actually it is no longer possible to add photosphere to coordinates, and 360° photos should be only uploaded on listings in Google Maps, exactly like flat photos.
The filter is also probably a bit more sensitive than in the past, but the main change is that now, on desktop only, when we click on the preview we are notified that the photo is not posted. A few days ago Maps blocked one of my photos too (a dish of pasta) so it seems it is not an issue related to 360 photos.
I would like to know the specific steps you took to upload the photosphere and the correct notation for the error message.
I would appreciate it if you could separate the message returned by Google Maps and the behavior of Google Maps (street view system) you imagined.
In my experience, I haven’t seen the symptoms you may be facing.
However, the AI may have determined that the photo violated Google’s “upload nude photo” policy.
I recommend you blur all of your body on the bottom part.
If you send me the original jpeg, I will immediately send you the processed jpeg.
And please tell us precisely how the photo will be processed in which app.
And the Google Maps app, which is a tool that can upload photospheres, changes the coordinates of the uploaded photo to the coordinates of the POI, regardless of the coordinates recorded in the photo.
However, I found a technique to use the Google Maps app to upload the photosphere exactly as the coordinates are recorded in the photo.
See the article below for how to do that. https://www.facebook.com/groups/LocalGuidesWorld/posts/1320904865218486/
