Google Maps users report missing features and location pins

Google Maps users have reported several technical issues affecting the app's utility. Some users have noted the disappearance of the ‘Popular times’ feature, which serves as a crowd indicator to help travelers avoid peak hours at specific destinations.

Additionally, reports surfaced regarding a bug where location pins for essential establishments—such as hotels, supermarkets, museums, and restaurants—were no longer visible on the map. While some reports suggest the pin issue may have been resolved, the disappearance of popularity data has left users uncertain whether the change is a permanent update or a temporary glitch.
