I was used to get auto suggestions to contribute to google maps for any place that I visit, but somehow this was stopped!
Even if I try to do it manually it doesn’t recognise the new places that am visiting!
The Backup option is enabled, and I sat the relevant settings in both google photos and maps, but it still the same!

Please explain all your screenshots. What would you like us to notice?
What do you mean by “Even if I try to do it manually”? Please let me know if you can post a review by opening a place on Google Maps and then start writing a review.
You dont need a prompt to add photos or write a review. Just open the place on Maps and add photos or write a review. I never react to such prompts as they can be misleading.
You may also want to share your Maps profile link to allow us to better understand your problem.

@zbeedatm did you change something in settings Google Maps like Timeline, Location or etc.? Do you have a problem on both your devices?
No didn’t change by myself, maybe something was changed in google policy!
Yes both devices
In screenshots you can notice that I have both devices connected in Backup on section of google account… U can see as well that in the contribute section of maps it’s giving me that I’m all caught up… in personal content you can see that timeline is on & location is on… and othe settings that checked to see if there is a problem, but couldn’t find such.
If I add a place manually for sure it’s working, but the whole experience is about having these suggestions automatically (and it was that way before), based on the places that you visit without the need for searching for them.

@zbeedatm hi, I would suggest this is because you are in an active war zone, in such areas GPS becomes unreliable because it is made so deliberately to avoid it being used in targeting places. There are three techniques - the satellites themselves start sending false signals, the signals are jammed by earthside transmitters over powering the satellites and by broadcasting false gps signals called spoofing.
Maps is dependent on the GPS signal received by your phone being accurate.
