Photos not visible after editing earlier reviews

I’ve been a Local Guide for less than four months. Having recently revisited my earliest reviews, I noticed minor grammar mistakes and typos. A couple of weeks ago, I edited those reviews (minor edits, really). Now I see that photos that were uploaded with those reviews are no longer visible when you go through photos for the places in question. On my end, I can see both the edited reviews and the photos. When other users look at the place, they can see the review but not the photos.

Is there a way to make my photos visible again?

Hey, @alex_kanata ! It is possible that your editing of the reviews triggered a moderation process which caused the photos to become temporarily unavailable to other users. I suggest waiting for a few weeks to see if the photos reappear.

If they do not, you can fill out an appeal form through this link and request a manual review from the Google Maps team. In the meantime, if you have any other reviews with minor grammar mistakes or typos, you may want to consider leaving them as is to avoid triggering any moderation processes that could potentially affect your photos or reviews.
