How to turn off Google Maps notifications

Google has provided us with many handy and convenient apps over the years. Google Maps can be described as one of the most used and helpful apps. But in order to make it better google asks its users to fill in the missing details for the places they visit.

Thus we keep on getting that pop-up info filling Google Maps notifications. Those notifications you get after visiting a store or restaurant, for example. You know, the ones asking you to review the place, answer questions, or upload photos.

Not all of them are bad, such as the alerts to a change in your commute. Google offers some granular notification customization in the Maps app, so you can keep or disable whichever ones you want. So here’s a super-easy way to get it fixed.

Choose and Disable

You can disable or leave a certain toggle it is up to you, here’s a small list of the most annoying notifications so that you can find and turn them off quickly.

  • Your contributions -> Familiar places
  • Your contributions -> Questions about places
  • Your contributions -> Add or confirm info
  • Your contributions -> Adding your photos
  • Your contributions -> Rate and review places
  • Your contributions -> Show photos publishing notifications
  • Your contributions -> Contribution ideas
  • Your contributions -> Questions about your area
  • Your contributions -> Questions about your recent journeys
  • People & places -> Timeline notifications

It’s pretty simple, but when you’re setting up a new phone, it can be easy to forget about these toggles in Maps.
