I’ve been added first photo of several places. I don’t know why the badge didn’t unlock. It’s not even counting. Can anybody explain why is this happening and what should i do?

Hi @EndShuvo ,
I understand your plight. You have to exercise a little patience as your badge will be upgraded soon.
In the meantime, keep making contributions to Google Maps.
Thank you.

Hello @EndShuvo
It may take a few days until the contributions are taken into account as this happened to me earlier. Just be patient also keep your Map always updated.
Please note your points and level can take up to 24 hours to update. Points do not expire, though they may decrease if content is removed for violating policies. Remain an active contributor on Google Maps to be eligible for perks and early access to new features.
I think this page will help you to understand better.

@EndShuvo , Sometimes it takes time. Myself and @kasunaaa had similar problem with Trailblazer. Even though it says 24hrs some times it takes several days to update. Don’t worry, if your contributions are genuine they will get updated. Your stats will reflect your updates and trailblazer asbadge will be eventually unlocked.
Your important contribution will not go in to waste. This is based on my and couple of others experience. Tagging
@ErmesT for some Moderator insights. Happy Mapping…!!!

As @ravindus said your badge will be unlocked shortly. Continue your valuable contributions to the map. The badge has another two levels, therefore keep adding more first photos of places. It would help to get Expert and master badges.
