@Bobiisha so do I have to just change the local guide connect username?? Or what?

22

Hi @Bishal_D ,

Yes, you mush change your username and profile picture, as per the instructions in the email.

23

@Bobiisha they didn’t specify if I have to change my Local guide connect profile photo and username or google account’s username and profile photo

24

Hi @Bishal_D ,

If you use the same profile picture and name in Google Maps as well, I suggest that you change both. I suggest this article, where there are some tips on how you can make the best of your Google Maps profile.

@Bobiisha I can’t change my google account’s photo and username but I can change photo and username for google maps and local guide connect. But I don’t know how to do that. Please guide me step by step

Hi @Bishal_D ,

You can follow the steps, described in this article. As per the Local Guides account, you should enter your profile, click on ‘‘settings’’ and then under ''My Connect profile" tab you will see the option to change your username and picture. Hope this was helpful!

@Bobiisha I have changed my username in local guide connect but it hasn’t reflected on google maps(it been more than 12 hrs) and in local guide connect I don’t see any option to change my profile photo. Please help me

Puse el código que me mandasteis: [code redacted] y puse mis datos en la pågina a la que me llevaba pero al darle a confirmar me salió un error. Cerré la pågina para meter el código de nuevo y ya me ponía que el código era invålido.

Hi @Ravi171 ,

We wanted to know a bit more about your experience when getting the error message. When entering your details and at the order confirmation page was the code being noted as inactive or already claimed?

hey all!

hope you all are safe and healthy

I recently received an email from google review rewards about a redemption code I had to put in some website to claim a reward
however, when i went in and submitted the claim code, it said it is invalid.

I already checked the e-mail and it’s a legit google reviews email.

has anyone encountered such a problem?

thanks ! :heart:
