I have recently uploaded many pictures on google maps but not getting views. What could be the reason for that? Most of the pictures are of famous places.

Hello friend @KaranVirk ,
1). I have seen your photos, but please note others can’t see your hidden photos. You only can see your hidden photos; Please read the following post by our friend @Kumaarsantosh to identify your hidden photos.
Improved Google Map Feature to identify Hidden Photos
2). Some local guides expressed that the photos are not getting as many views as they were getting in the past. They shared their viewes in the comments on the post by our friend @WilfriedB , please take a look
Views of indivual Photos reduced drastically or show zero for new uploads
I hope these topics will be helpful.

Hello @KaranVirk,
the two words “famous places” can give you a clue: if there already many pictures posted by others, chances are your photos will be placed way down in the list, so almost nobody sees them.
To understand, why your images are not viewed, open the place, click the main photo, then the All tab and scroll down until you find your own. If you have to scroll for long time, chances are very low, others see your postings.
Before doing that, you might also watch under the “By me” (or is it "By you?) to see your own photos. I noticed, specially when posting multiple photos to the same place, there often some of them not showing up at all.
What can we do against that?
Not much! But identifying which kind of pictures are placed at the very end of the list or are not even shown under “By me”, you might be able to learn what to avoid. For example redundant images, selfies or showing other people.
Some hints are given here: Common Photo Violations, but there is no guarantee.
