Hi,
All my newly added photos (solo or with review) are instantly banned. What i can do with that?
Best regards,
Karol

Hoy 07/03/2024 he subido tres fotos desde el movil android y a pesar de subirlas sin problema, no se han publicado, horas despues he vuelto a publicar las mismas fotos desde el PC y se han subido, esta vez si se han publicado, algo extraño esta ocuriendo.
Thanks for reporting this. I am experiencing same and have escalated this to the team.
I will inform the team about your issue.
Thanks
Morten
Please elaborate. How do you know they are hidden? Can you see them in your photo contribution list? Did you get any error messages? Maybe you can share a screenshot.
Cheers
Morten
@MortenCopenhagen subi las fotos recien sacadas y en propio sitio donde estaba, mientras viaja en autobus comprobe si se habian publicado, despues de dos horas mire de nuevo en el movil y nada, asi que desde el PC/ordenador las procedi a publicar de nuevo y se publicaron sin problema.
Thanks.
Your physical location is not important when it comes to uploading photos.
Cheers
Morten
Thanks @Kkarolkiewicz
It would be very helpful if you would use the tagging tool when replying to someone here on Connect. Type @ followed by the username. Type slowly. Then we get an e-mail notification and you are more likely to get a prompt reply. Just hitting Reply does not ensure we get notified by email.
The first error message sounds like you should just delete the image and try uploading it again.
The second one is more serious. Have you tried clicking on “Details”? Try and if there is a link or button to appeal, please do so.
If an appeal option is not there or not working after 2-3 days, please share the photo(s) in a reply below and I will try to spot what the problem could be.
Cheers

I just noticed that these are reviews. If photos were uploaded with the reviews, please delete them on Maps and post the review without any photos. And let me know it the reviews go public.
Cheers
Morten
@MortenCopenhagen first message - deleting and uploading again doesn’t work. It happens wit every photo i’m trying to add on all devices (2 phones, pc).
Second message - there is no appeal button
This is the photo but it happens with every photo
@MortenCopenhagen reviews without photo will go public. But as i said at the beginning i have problem with adding photos not reviews itselfs.
I can’t show how not added photos looks beacuse when i add photo from every device i have it disappears just after uploading. When i add photo with review - review does’n go public.
Thanks @Kkarolkiewicz
Then the spam filter probably decided to put a block on your account.
I have been looking at your photos and found some examples where you are uploading redundant (similar) photos like here:
When photographing a hotel room you also share more photos than needed in my opinion.
This should be fixed but is probably not the main reason for the block.
Your reviews look good and helpful to me.
Maybe the spam filter is just acting up.
Please use the form called Account Investigation for contributions not visible on Google Maps if you believe that some of your contributions have been wrongfully unpublished. Keep in mind, it takes several weeks for the check to be done, and you will not be notified about the result, so I suggest you check the status of your reviews once a week or so.
Best of luck
Morten
@MortenCopenhagen so what’s the way to unblock my account? Filling that form?
It is a good sign that reviews without pics go public.
The block can be on photos only. Have you tried uploading them from a computer. There is currently a new bug blocking also my photos if uploaded from mobile. This started max 48 hours ago.
Yes fill the form. And cross your fingers.
But let me know how long you have had this problem with photos.
Cheers
Morten
@MortenCopenhagen same story uploading from computer.
Problem started around 2 weeks ago
Then it is not the bug I mentioned. And you would then be able to upload via computer.
I would recommend you start removing redundant photos. Learn more here
While you wait to see of the form will fix the problem.
Cheers
Morten
@MortenCopenhagen Nothing changed 3 months after fillig the form
Your newest photo was uploaded 20 hours ago.
Your latest review with photos was uploaded only 45 minutes ago.
I thought the problem was that you were blocked from adding new contributions.
Please recheck.
Cheers
Morten
** @MortenCopenhagen **Unfortunately not. That review was only editing. No new reviews. And only one photo from 3 was added
Try sharing the review text, the place link and your photos added to the review below.
Cheers
Morten
