Now on iOS: uncover missing info on Google Maps

[HelloJess]

[12/18/2020] UPDATE: As of December 2020 , the Uncover missing info feature on iOS is no longer available. Please visit the Google Maps Help Center for more information.

We have exciting news for Local Guides on iOS: one of your most-requested features just went live! Now you can uncover missing info on Google Maps.

Here’s how it works:

• Open Google Maps for iOS
• Go to Your contributions
• Tap Uncover missing info

Caption: Three mobile phones: the first displaying the “Uncover missing info” section under “Your contributions”, the second displaying the “Uncover missing info” welcome screen, and the third displaying a business and questions to answer in order to add missing information.

You’ll see nearby places that need your help. Tap each one to see what it’s missing. You’ll be able to add a phone number, website, or category, then move on to next place. It’s a great way to see where your knowledge can help others—not to mention a fast, fun way to earn Local Guides points.

We’d love to know what you think about this new way to share on Google Maps for iOS! Tell us in the comments.
