Hi @AbdullahAM
New features are rolling out on Google Maps Frequently, and this is indeed one of the (really wanted) new feature. It means that it will be available for all the Local Guides soon, we just need to wait. Beta testing is not related to this, @IshantHP_ig
Also I personally would not mention beta testing because, as you may know, every beta activity is under NDA

Usually a feature that have to exit for millions of users is coming out in days, @IshantHP_ig
Also some country may have a law that doesn’t permit the feature to be used.
I don’t have a “first hand” information, that’s why I said “Usually”
In a few days we will know

Fun facts @IshantHP_ig
In September 2018 I was in Krakow for the European Meet-up.
During the dinner I added the photo of a dish, and I was requested to add a label with the dish name.
All of us added photos, but I was the only one to have the feature active, despite all of us was L7 up to L10.
The feature was available for everyone after two weeks

Sir! I am totally agreed by your words, you was talking about tag feature with photo, actually i used this option firstly in November and i found it’s very useful tool to categorise the photos in different sections.
I think sometimes the operating system of our device also a medium to used the latest feature.
What you think about it ? @ErmesT

Hi Ishant,
I do not find the feature in my Android Phone.
Is the feature “Add a report” available now in Android Phone?
I read in the Gadgets website as
"… Once tapped the Add a report option, you can report Google directly about a crash or a speed trap you’ve encountered on your route. Google Maps also show how many people have reported issues on your route to help you decide whether you should continue on the same route or pick an alternate one.
It is worth noting here that the new feature is only visible once you start the navigation on Google Maps. Also, unlike the reporting features on Waze that are available to report not just accidents or speed traps but also road closures and hazards, Google’s offering is still limited in nature.
Google hasn’t officially announced the new feature to report accidents and speed traps. However, Gadgets 360 was able to independently verify the roll out on Android devices in New Delhi. An email was also sent to Google for clarity on the roll out, though we didn’t receive a response until the time of publication.
As we mentioned, while Google is now apparently rolling out the reporting feature globally, it was first spotted back in June last year. Some refinements were even reported in November."
Is it not yet made available for all Users with Google Account ?

@IshantHP_ig @ErmesT @AbdullahAM @iDepp
As I understand, the new feature is only visible once you start the navigation on Google Maps!
Well, yes and not @Dhanasekaran_Muthu
The new feature isn’t available for me yet. I some country is forbidden to touch your phone while you are driving, so maybe (maybe) this is the reason
