That is interesting @Amiran I have not seen that yet. Bear in mind this might be what Google refer to as an "experiment’ where they roll out a feature to a few thousand people to get feedback on the change. Sometimes experiments go live to the mainstream user base and often they don’t. If you like this feature make sure you send feedback within Maps app to say that you do.
You’re totally right. At least for my around users it is available and I was thought maybe it be a new global feature.
It would be good if you and dear @JanVanHaver let us now about availability of this feature for your accounts. Although you told not seen it but I’m not sure if you missed to see or it is unaccessible for you.
I noticed this feature too, @Amiran . Thanks for starting a topic on it.
Only the user who asks the question can select the best answer, and I don’t know if it’s only for Local Guides right now.
I noticed it doesn’t make a difference for Yes/No questions, which are pretty much the only ones I ask, and the kind I think are mostly asked by everyone. For example, if someone asks if a place accepts credit or debit cards as payment, there’s always like 3 or more answers that are like “No” “No, they don’t” “Nope.” “No, just cash”, so the first answer continues to be the best I guess.
Yes @JanVanHaver We have lots of answers but only few questions. But at least I’ve two
Thanks @Jesi for sharing your experience. Yes, for some question it doesn’t make difference because answers are similar so in these cases if there wasn’t a better answer, I think it’s good to let system again to select the best answer
Agreed @PaulPavlinovich , I am certainly also not suggesting to be all-knowing, but with my experience of the way questions are answered (well, not answered or poorly answered to be more precise) I have simply not come across any situation where asking a question on Maps would seem the be the contact option with the highest expected success rate (also due to the fact that a lot of businesses here are not claimed).
I hesitate to put a percentage on it, but I feel that in the majority of cases that I’ve seen that question notification more often than not the person is given the answer or at least some guidance of where to go next @JanVanHaver
