@Amine-BENBACHIR congratulations 
All the best on your local guide journey 
It certainly looks like an unusual increase over a short time.
Do you have an explanation for this? Did you recently add a lot more media that can explain this?
There has recently been a week-long disruption in getting our view totals updated. This might explain most or all of the sudden increase.
@TitikMariati just reported this:
And here is a screenshot of my views graph:
I have not done anything that can explain this jump. I have not added any media for a long time. And if you compare the three graphs in this discussion, it is clear that the jump is likely something all Local Guides have experienced.
I believe the jump is an “artifact” = a consequence of the delayed updates rather than a sudden spike in view numbers.
Further, I’m concerned that Google Maps is smoothing these graphs too much and amplifying such spikes to look more dramatic than they really are. This can be done by manipulating the y-axis scale.
I have been adding photos for years now, and a sudden and unexplained jump like this is not realistic in my opinion. Such large numbers do not jump this much.
I think the smoothing is failing to actually show us the week-long interruption of updates. If the artificial smoothing in the days prior to the jump were removed, we could see and recognize that the jump was just a “catch-up” after the interruption of updates.
@WilfriedB and @ErmesT, what do you think?
Update: @TitikMariati and @Amine-BENBACHIR this is not to criticize you and your efforts. I think there is a problem with the graph.

Nah ini saya seneng Bapak @MortenCopenhagen , pasti akan banyak ilmu lagi di diskusi ini .
Jadi begini , sedikit saya jelaskan . Selama saya di LGC saya juga memperhatikan grafik saya dan teman-teman.
Misalkan dari bentuk ganrisngrafiknya , lalu dari angka di sebelahnya , kadang-kadang grafiknya sangat menurun namun besuknya ya naik , ternyata angkanya di kecilin .
Nah grafik saya ini Bapak, ini juga bukan tiba-tiba langsung 74k penayangan baru , itu bertahap dari 5,000, lalu naik jadi 7.000, belasan ribu , 32k , 40k naik naik naik naik naik , seiring berjalannnya waktu , ulasan saya semakin banyak yang di lepas . Mungkin Bapak Morten masih ingat dulu ulasan saya yang di lepas sejumlah 177 saya dan sekarang sejumlah 375 ulasan Bapak. Dan saya sengaja memperbaiki ulasannya di tempat-tempat ramai yang saya dahulukan 
Hahha ketauan kan saya 
Jadi sedikit ceritanya seperti itu Bapak
Tapi saya seneng belajar di sini.
Bapak Morten, mau belajar lebih banyak lagi , ajari saya ilmu-ilmu lainnya . Kan mengulas saya sudah tahu dan sampai saat ini proses masih berlangsung, saya akan selalu mengabarkan perkembangan. Terima kasih atas pantauannya Bapak, lope-lope Bapak Morten 
Maaf Bapak yang angka di antaranya tidak tertangkap layar . Saat masih di angka 7K, 10k, sampai 40k saya tidak ambil . Saya ambil pas mau buat artikel saya
Dan uang 74k ya saya ambil itu saya seneng bapak xixixi memang niat saya membagikannya . Terima kasih Bapak dan berikut hasil tangkapan layar yang pernah saya ambil . Terima kasih 
Grafiknya Bapak @MortenCopenhagen , gak kuat baca angkanya . Serem dalam arti positif, Bapak Morten memang juara.
Ilmunya banyak banget ketahuan dari hasilnya . Bersyukur saya masuk LGC dan banyak terbimbing oleh Bapak. Terima kasih

I totally agree with you @MortenCopenhagen. In the time between Oct 19 and Oct 25, 2026 there was no increase visible (i.e. published by Google Maps). This applies to the individual view counts, as well as the total numbers. The total numbers always increase at least 24 hours later than the sum of the individual counts.
When I say “visible”, I am convinced Google permanently continues counting in the background. Once they re-started publishing again partially on Oct 26, but then massive on Oct 29, the numbers included all the increases of the previous week.
Note however, this is my conclusion based on the numbers, I track daily. Since Google never reveals the technical details, we don’t know it is the truth - just an “educated guess”.

Terima kasih banyak Bapak @WilfriedB , atas ilmunya. Ini ilmu tingkat tinggi. Saya harus membaca beberapa kali dulu agar betul-betul memahami makna dari yang Bapak sampaikan. Saya senang belajar ilmu ini , khususnya untuk grafik penayangan foto. Terima kasih

Thank you Morten for this clear analysis. Indeed, it really looks like a server catch-up after the update delay rather than a sudden change in my daily activity. It is very interesting to see this happening globally across accounts. Greetings from Algeria!

Thank you Wilfried and Titik for sharing your data and insights. It’s fascinating to see that we all experienced the exact same pattern during that update delay period!"

This is indeed a guess @Amine-BENBACHIR. Even though, I am convinced it applies to all of us, we don’t have any proof.
Thanks for the tag, @MortenCopenhagen
I think the exceptional spike can be easily explained. You are right in saying that we’re all experiencing a similar trend, due to the way Google update our views, that is the same for everyone.
Correct. You can easily check the average of the increase in my contributions
In this specific case we have also an extra addition of views, caused by some recent addition that was causing a lot of additional views: 32.138.
That’s why we see this big jump
The bad news, @Amine-BENBACHIR , is that in Google Maps originality of the contents are not an option, and all the photos that are receiving this big amount of views are sourced from external sources, in particular Facebook (the photos) and TikTok (the video).
This is not only a violation of Google Maps policies, but also a violation of the laws of your country. Copyright law in Tunisia is primarily governed by Law No. 94-36 of February 24, 1994, on Literary and Artistic Property, as amended and supplemented by Law No. 2009-33 of June 23, 2009, with further parliamentary updates in 2026 to incorporate international treaties. ( https://www.wipo.int/wipolex/en/legislation/details/21148 ). Violations face civil and penal sanctions, including fines and potential imprisonment.
I am certain that you obtained this content in good faith; however, copyright infringement is tantamount to theft and puts not only your Google Maps account at risk, but your personal freedom as well. If one of the creators of the many images you took from the web—some of which even feature a clearly visible watermark—were to file a complaint against you, you could face penalties or even imprisonment, especially if this is a recurring behavior.
So, why not play it safe and delete ALL media that isn’t yours?
Apparently Google is already putting an eye on your contributions, and more than 2500 are already hidden, so I suggest you a quick cleanup

Thanks for sharing the linear interpolations clearly showing the interrupted updates caused the spike. Brilliant.
