If one has 22 million photo views and 5 million video views but the total says 30 million views, where do the remaining 3 million views come from?
It can’t be from edits because those views are not shown and you can only manually count them. Also if they would count, In my case I would add 35+ million views
What other views are there besides photo and video?
From your Maps profile I can see that you currently have a total of 26,464,315 views which is the total views from each of your media contribution areas namely, photo (21,747,644 views), video (4,716,571 views) and 360 spheres.
As you can read in my openings post @ErmesT those Edit views are well over 35.million views.so those can’t be the missing 3,5 million as there is a 0 missing.
I’d have to scroll back to make screenshots but I got one edit well over 12 million, another 6 million and plenty hitting a million.
Someone suggested these views are unreported views you gathered from Updates. I am satisfied with that answer. I did well over a 100 so that would make sense.
Hopefully we will somewhere in the future get better analytics showing Edit and Update views clearly.
