Please help me with "facts checked" - verify 100 edits for Fact Finder Badge - function doesn't work

Hello Local Guides

I’m halfway to level 9 and about to unlock my Master Fact Finder and Trailblazer badges, woot woot. One problem though, I cannot “check the facts” anymore. I am stuck at 50 points. In the past, maps would open up to colored circles you could select to verify edits, but I don’t seem to be able to have that option anymore. Can anyone help with this? Just a note here, I have opened my profile and swiped left to where it says “check the facts”, but these yes/no answers only add to my “answer questions about a place” points. I am specifically looking at how to “verify 100 edits” in the “fact finder” badge. As mentioned, this used to ask you more specific questions about a place and would give you points in the “facts checked” section.

Many thanks for your help!

Hi @WillHarrison

The mix-up between Fact Checking and answers is a know issue not fixed yet, as you can read in my post from July 2022: Bug in Google Maps? Fact Checking and Answers contamination .

In the last few months I’ve been able to have some more Fact Checked responding to questions on the business listings about opening status or opening time. That kind of question appears under the opening time (someone suggested this time) or the status .

But by checking fact in the usual way, I was responding to questions totally unrelated to that topic, as you can read in my post

I am facing the same issue. Please suggest if you find some solutions.

My ‘Facts Checked’ has been stuck on 19 for ages now, despite me answering facts via the ‘Check the Facts’ tab on Contribute now.

I’ve literally just done a few more while typing this and its still stuck at 19 on the badge :disappointed:
