Photos not showing up under ALL photos

@MortenCopenhagen @WilfriedB
I found this to be interesting and curious what you two and others might think. So, i saw some of my photos with no views. Zero. I checked to see if they were public, and Yes they were, doing an incognito search.

I then looked at the business and searched under ALL photos, and they are not shown. Not even when searching with me logged in, non incognito mode. Normal. I found this interesting and wondered if these are private even tho visible using anon search. I will link one to see if others can view it. Thoughts?

I see it. And I gave it a second like as proof.

@MortenCopenhagen thanks for the quick reply! Don’t you find it strange it does not show up under all photos?

Not only you, @StevenBerlin. I found a couple of those several weeks or even months ago. Some kind of ā€œsoft hiddenā€ - public, but nobody will find them.
If there are already many photos/videos in the listing and you find yours in position 500 would be the same effect.
But the link, you added here seems to reach the cover photo …?

Here is a recent example:
I posted ten photo to this POI, but only eight appear under ā€œBy meā€.
One of those, not showing is this one.

@StevenBerlin
Ich habe dieses Foto gefunden und gesehen.
Dieses Motiv ist aber auch zahlreich vorhanden und mehr als einmal muss man es nicht ansehen.
Vielleicht liegt es daran.

@WilfriedB @MortenCopenhagen

No no. That photo is not the cover photo. They look similar tho. My question really is why are these photos not showing up under ALL photos if in fact it is a public/good photo under that business. And, since two of you have seen this photo, why still the zero views. I believe there was another topic regarding this 2nd point.

I have never seen this semihidden thing before. I speculate if the lack of uniqueness could play a role.

I can see it as well Steven and I clicked on it.

@StevenBerlin, I read your post, with interest. I have been seeing similar things. The link you gave worked and I added a like too. I saw that the photo was not shown under recent.
I did note that POI has only 58 photos, which normally would be a good thing. However 14 (24%) of them are of the same view as yours.
@WilfriedB, I also enjoyed your post. I realize that architectural photos often need to be taken in portrait mode, but I wonder if its orientation was an issue to the algorithm?
I did not see other photos of that particular view. The first photo I found by you is at #31 in the gallery. I thought it was odd that it didn’t appear in recent.
@MortenCopenhagen mentioned about adding as an update may help. Earlier in the year I was adding almost everything with a caption, but I have done very few recently.
Is any one tracking performance by adding a photo vs an update? @JustJake?

Yes it is visible. I saw it too.

Thanks Alfred!
That doesn’t really surprise me, since it is not so recent anymore. Was taken on Sep 6 and posted October 15 - more than a month ago now.

Another interesting thing at this POI:
Five of my ten photos did show views staring at Oct 19 & 20. All stopped increasing after three weeks! So, I assume they were at higher positions and got pushed down on Nov 8 & 9.
One of the zero-views-photos showed the first 10 views just this morning. (Because of you guys watching?) and exactly that one is now on position 28.

Since I rarely ever use the mobile, I was wondering, how the others could give likes :joy:
Now, you have four :+1: Steven, but not enough. Minimum to show up is five.

The most recent ā€˜Update’ I posted is the only video on a POI and has 0 views. The photos I posted under the POI from the same morning have 300 - 900 views. All of mine are showing under the ā€˜Latest’ Tab.

Very rarely, I upload photos under ā€œUpdateā€. In German this shows as ā€œNeuigkeitenā€ which translates to news, so I mainly show signs such as ā€œClosed for vacation from … to ā€¦ā€ and see only very few views, if any for those.

@StevenBerlin now you have five :heart: for your photo … curious, if you will see some views on it soon.

@WilfriedB @Rednewt74
As of today zero views, and still not showing under ALL photos for the biz.

I would be surprised, if they ever appear under All, but whether they show views eventually is a different question. Just curious …

Wilfried, I don’t specifically use ā€œUpdatesā€ for news or information. I sometimes add a photo the regular way, then add a second one via updates so that I can also add a Caption for extra points. Now that @JustJake and @Rednewt74 are asking about it, I’ll monitor it more closely, but I hadn’t discerned any disadvantage before.

Returning to your original question Steven,
I checked all zero views photos among my 500 most recently added and found 25 which don’t appear under ā€œBy meā€ and ā€œAllā€.

I find this interesting and puzzling. Since we know they are public, it seems odd that they are not displayed under ALL. Perhaps tge system is glitchy every so often, or perhaps they are actually a private photo which appears public, which would be bad for those of us trying to figure out which are photos should be deleted. My count keeps increasing. I am up to 130 hidden now, but i have 17,000 or so photos. Not too bad, however i wish i could find the bad ones and just delete
