Could a moderator please help me check my account status? I am a Level 6 Local Guide (853 contributions, 4.4k points), and it seems like my reviews have suddenly gone invisible to the public over the last 48 hours.
I can still see all my text reviews on my end when logged in, but they completely vanish when viewed from any other account or device. They don’t show up under the specific locations I’ve reviewed, nor do they appear on my public guide profile. It seems to be affecting my entire review history, old and new.
I’ve tested this on multiple devices to be sure, and none of my content is visible to anyone else. I would really appreciate it if someone could look into this to see if it’s a glitch or an accidental filter restriction.
Thanks a lot!
UPDATE: Already figured this out HAHAHAHA! No issue. Thank you!
Happy to share what happened! It turns out it was just a temporary delay on Google’s end. I had posted more than 10 reviews within a two-day span, which I think triggered a brief security review or latency in their automated system.
When I checked back a bit later using other accounts and different devices, everything had caught up and all of my reviews were completely visible to the public again!
If you are currently experiencing hidden reviews, especially after sharing a bunch of locations at once, don’t panic just yet. Give the system a day or two to process your contributions and update. Sometimes the filters just need a little time to catch up and verify everything is good to go!
Hope this helps anyone else who might be dealing with the same thing!
