Not getting contribution for answered choice questions

Recently I have found out that I have not received any contribution points of all the choice questions I have answered so far.

I probably have had answered more than 200 or 300 choice questions but my profile shows only 8 answers.

whenever I answer choice questions I get a popup of contribution points but my profile points does not increase neither my contribution score of answer.

please help me in this regard. as contributing to the google by taking time is not getting me points is rather disappointing.

Hi @Parag008

Probably you missed the points due to an update of the setting for Google’s My Activity . Please read: How do I delete my answers to questions on Google Maps?

If on My Activity your setting is different from this one here below, your answer are automatically deleted and the points not given.

From the Local Guides help page: Answer questions :

  1. Make sure you have the latest updated Google Maps.
  2. Make sure that your Web & App Activity is on.

@ErmesT thanks for your answer.

as you have mentioned I have my web & app activity turned on like you shown in the screenshot and had always kept it that way from the beginning.

now onto the activity deletion i have it set to automatically delete after 36 months currently.

but my problem is that for the questions i have answered today i do not get any contribution points. also my web activity only shows that as area viewed on maps.

not as in the post you have suggested for me to view.

so what can i fo in this situation? should i stop answering choice questions as it does not count towards my contribution anyway. or is there any way to make this work?

Thanks, @Parag008 for the feedback. From your post it was not clear that you answered today.

Points need around 24 hours for being updated, so please at least wait until tomorrow and give us a feedback.

Also please keep in mind that, if you keep the setting for deleting the history after 36 months, in 36 months also your points related to answers will be deleted

thanks for quick reply, I had not only Answered questions today but some days before during last week and before that.

but still I’ll update if contribution updates after 24 hours or so.

@ErmesT I have waited for more than 24 hours now and my answer data has not been updated neither my points has increased.

please tell me how I can solve this issue?

edit:

after uninstalling and reinstalling the maps updates seems to solve my problem.

I hope this may work for other perople having similar issue.
