Can't Upload Photos to Google Maps

The uploading of images when you write a review on Google Maps is not working for many people.

You will have to use the "Your Contributions" option.


Search for a premises on Google Maps and write a review in text. Click the "Done" button.


Go to the top left and see the three horizontal lines icon.




Click "Your Contributions" button.






Click "Reviews" tab.


Cursor down until you find the review you just wrote - the name of the company. Click on the name.





A Google Maps web page will open. Click the "Add a photo" button at the bottom.






Open your Picture folder. Drag your image onto the popup that opened. Click "Done" button.



Click the "Reviews" tab. Cursor down to the company you reviewed and click the name of the premises. You will see your image at the bottom of your review text.




The picture is on Google Maps it can take a week for it to appear in a normal search.



Google is starting to fade out review images. This is how Google does things. It stops things working properly. Then, after a year or so it announces a feature is gone.

If you look at reviews that show pictures you will see that they are a few years old.

Google Maps is starting to cut out the images on new reviews in the box on the left side of map views, even if they are visible in the photos tab.
