No points for posting captions

It’s been three weeks since I’ve been able to post a caption and earn a reward. Something’s very broken. I am Level 10 and I’ve earned points for 4154 captions. So this definitely isn’t on my end.

My phone is a Pixel 8a. It’s on Android 15 with the May 5 update.
Maps is version 25.18.00.752029409. There is no newer update available from the Play Store. I have cleared the storage and the cache.
I’ve rebooted and I’ve tried turning it off/on.

I removed all of the updates and the version is back to 11.129.0103 and THAT worked. So it’s something Google has done between that version and version 25.

  1. Search for a business.
  2. Click “Post”
  3. Click “Add photos”
  4. Search my device for a photo.
  5. This is where I would usually be able to enter a caption. The field does not appear.

I’ve tried this with different businesses including ones that for sure would be photo-able.
