Photo reactions keeps coming very frequently!

Hi everyone,

Over the past 2 months I have noticed that notifications from when a Maps user likes one of my photos are getting more and more frequent.

Today they really keep coming.

You find your list of notifications in the mobile app after you tap You and then this bell icon:

Have you noticed this also?

I get the notifications about the photos (and also the review) almost every day, and that makes me really happy :smiley:

Yes @MortenCopenhagen I’ve seen this. And @Ssiddharth2000, I’ve also seen it for Reviews.

What puzzles me, though, is that some of these new interactions are for old contributions I made to Maps a long time ago.

My suspicion is the photo views crash is being compensated for by giving us this instead :wink:

Yes, but old photos can obviously also get likes.

@MortenCopenhagen I’ve noticed this here too. Notifications aren’t daily, but at least two to three times a week, user view information is uploaded.

@MortenCopenhagen the “you” notification (in my opinion) provides only sample some of those interaction or feature media messages.
As frequent media uploader - I occasionally check my recent uploads against the site (to see what has been featured) and I can see that MANY are featured or take lead without as well as get reaction without getting a notificaiton sent.
I still like when notification do come - always nice to know our contributions are having some impact :wink:

I completely agree that the Your photo is featured notifications are not prioritized to reflect photos getting a lot of views. The randomness is from my observations like this: When we upload a large batch of photos only the first one getting featured will trigger a notification.

Are you able to determine if the Someone liked your photo notifications are complete (so every reaction results in a notification)?

Thanks and cheers

I too have noticed this @MortenCopenhagen

Not sure why everyone is jumping on this bandwagon and liking this video, but I am up to 80 likes… I guess I should enjoy it.

Very true, but why are people new seeing them when I expect they’re long since buried under much newer contributions? I wonder if Google is deliberately making these old items more visible now.

I’ve noticed this too @abermans. Notifications for “featured” photos don’t seem to come now, even though I often post to POIs with less than 10 photos or no photos at all. As far as I remember, any position in the first 10 is a featured photo.
