How to report inappropriate pictures of a certain location all at once

Google Maps tips & tricks
1

I don’t know if others are facing this issue or not. In my area I have came across through multiple locations which are added with hundreds of inappropriate pictures.

Some of them I reported manually one by one, but I want to know if there exist any other method to report them all at once? As manually it takes much time and effort.

Secondly, I want to know that if someone comes and start reporting an appropriate picture of a location as an inappropriate, then how the Google is going out to authenticate?

Hello @ComradeShah

Your frustration is reasonable

However, there is no way to mark multiple photos as spam at once.

However, you can do the following two things.

  • If you notice that a particular LG is doing the spamming, report that by clicking on the three dots in the profile.
  • If that is related to a specific POI, you can use the send feedback option to report multiple photos.

These aren’t perfect solutions but will reduce your efforts considerably.

Thank you @C_T , I just learned something today thanks to you.
I was not aware that we can report a Local Guide inside the phone app. Until now, I have only done so by following the instructions from a Googler after tagging a Google Moderator here on LGC.

Cheers!

Yes @Muhammad_Usman I am definitely going to read your idea as this a topic worth pondering over. In my area I have noted numerous places which are crowded by inappropriate, useless pictures. It is hard to report irrelevant pictures one by one, in many a times the users even have uploaded hundreds of irrelevant pictures to a certain map location.
