Issues seeing photos from Google Photos to contribute to Google Maps

When trying to contribute photos (using my laptop), I only see a few photos in my Google Photos to choose from on the pop out tab to the left of my screen. It’s not showing all my photos to be able to choose what I want to contribute. Is there a privacy setting I am missing?

I upload images to my Google Photos, so I know they are there.

Hi @aletakae,

Thanks for reaching with us.

Regarding your inquiry, please make sure that the photos you would like to upload have been taken with your phone, with the location setting to be activated at that time.

You may check a bit more in Add, remove, or share photos on Google Maps.

So I can’t upload photos taken by my DSLR camera that I have uploaded to my laptop? I just want to be able to contribute using my laptop however I can. I can’t seem to figure out how. lol

Hi @aletakae,

Thanks you for the prompt response.

In that case, you may search for the specific location on Google Maps, as you may proceed to leave a review or to add a photo to the place’s page.

It should be with the same principle as the first mentioned method to contribute. : ]
