By now, almost everyone in the programme are aware of an ongoing situation happening to badge achievements, view counts, photos contributions and a host of concurrent issues to our accounts.
Active contributors like you, might be at a loss of what to do while Google race to fix those issues and get your achievements back on track for your accounts.
Don’t be sad. There are still alot you can do while riding out this uncertain times.
Here is a suggested guide from what I did for my account, and what you can consider doing.
Stop contributions to the system. Or reduce the contribution uploads. Instead, I make notes manually and upload them later when issues for my account are fixed. For photos, create a folders in Photos that you will want to upload for the Guides program, add a caption to each photo to help you remember what it is. Use Google docs or Keep to make review notes for upload later even.
Download a copy of your account data on Google Maps, Photos, save or archive the data on my own laptop or hard disk for future use if need be. This is helpful if you are afraid to lose them and wish to keep them offline somewhere. You can access it through your Google account settings page.
Review and update profile, data and information on Google products, security and privacy settings housekeeping. Make a new profile pic, refresh your introduction bio, or even plan a few new lists of new beautiful places to share with others, not just about places to eat. Most importantly, secure your account with a privacy review. You can easily do this at the accounts page too.
This way I know clearly I have a fixed reference point to observe whether every counter , eg. Points Views etc, is restored.
Data housekeeping helps to declutter your own personal data floating on the world wide web. Helps with having faster data connectivity if you are a mobile warrior too.
And taking the opportunity for a security settings review in line with the latest facial recognition usage and many other privacy legal issues are addressed and settigs reset according to your own risk tolerance level.
These are some ways of getting through a downtime until each of your account issues get fixed. Of course, there isn’t a limit to what you can do in the meantime. As long as they are steps focused on helping you being able to contribute quickly again when things get restored to normal.
Hope it helps to make your time online and efforts more productive.
