A change in how users rate reviews

[Joan_claveria]

During this week, I've noticed a change in how users can rate reviews on Android. While the "like"👍   feature continues on Desktop, on Android a message has appeared:

When you press, and holt,  the heart, the following icons appear:

I'm not really sure what they mean. Can someone explain what each icon signifies and how we evaluate a review by using them?

On the other hand, I'm not convinced by this change. I believe the concept of 'like' is understood in all contexts, whereas the interpretation of icons is very ambiguous and varies across cultures.

Hi @Joan_claveria 

This was announced in November 2023. Please see https://blog.google/products/maps/google-maps-updates-november-2023/

Also, when you use the new like system on food photos and food reviews you might see a nifty new animation superimposed on the image.

Cheers

I forgot to answer your question, @Joan_claveria 

Heart:  I like or love

Clapping:  Very good or amazing

Fire:  Outstanding (In English "On fire" is used about something beyond amazing)

Lip licking:  Used for fantastic taste

Mind blowing: Is used for something  extremely exciting or surprising

But I'm sure people will use the icons differently based on their own interpretations. 

Cheers

Morten
