Photo attachment option for Q&A section

[#1]

Dear moderators.

I want to share something about Q&A section of the Google Maps. I have seen many people  are asking in this section for manu, price of the different items,admission notice, and phone number.Sometimes it is difficult to answer those questions through typing.If there is a option for photo attachment, it will be  helpful for  both Local Guides and business owner.

Thank you for sharing your idea, @zafahim. The Local Guides program is more focused on contributing from a personal point of view to Google Maps and this is why your idea is getting closed. You might be interested to share it with Google My Business.

There are many people who visit same places everyday. 

It would be wonderful to get a short feedback about the photo or if they could tell what would they like to see. Local Guides would be able to help the viewers in a better way & if it could be done real time ,nothing like it. 

It would be amazing to get extra points if liked by the viewer

Idea is to help people in real time with images & questions about a specific location they are looking for

Hi @Kush657,

Thanks for sharing your idea with us.

Could you please clarify a bit your idea? Are you suggesting ability to share photos when answering questions?

@MashaPS 

Let's assume there are set of people visiting same coffee shop very frequently. 

Then there are other set of people who are searching for coffee shops and might have some questions.

Suppose, the people who are searching for some very specific questions about this coffee shops can be answered by frequent visitors in or providing this people with photos of that coffee shop specifically. 

As people need solutions in real time, it would be amazing if all of this can be done in real time.

I am suggesting to make it more personalized for the people who have any query & for the local guides who can answer the question with photos or by mere words

Hi @Kush657,

Thank you for clarification.

However please note that a similar one has been already suggested here - Photo attachment option for Q&A section. For that reason, I will merge yours to it together with its votes.

I just recommend you before you submit an idea to search the community. It’s possible that someone else has already submitted the same one, so you can show your support by voting for that idea.

You have my vote! I am sure it will be helpful for many people. Just imagine if it was in real time.
