Hi @SHRED if you are the first person to place a photo on a place it will. Generally those with the most views tend to trickle up to the top. If you think you’ve got a great photo that is much better than what is there then send feedback about the location and ask to have yours put up.

hi Paul, thank you, but I think that sometimes don’t give me the achievement because there is the 360 photo view from the street by Google. and it counts that as the first photo added and not mine :confused: what do you think? is anything you can explain to me about this ?! thanks

A 360 photosphere can replace the existing Street View image but a flat image is unlikely to do so. Are you uploading 360 images via the Street View App or flat images?

I upload only flat images. so you think is for that, that Google doesn’t give me the achievement?! because there is still the 360 photo made by google street view, and when I upload mine, which is flat, don’t recognize it as the first photo uploaded of a place?

Yes that is possible @SHRED although I have had a flat image replace the default Street View image on a place.
