To see your Google reviews, open Maps, go to Your contributions → Reviews, then browse your posted feedback by date.
If you’ve posted ratings on places, you can pull them up in seconds. This guide shows the fastest paths on phone and desktop, what each screen looks like, and quick fixes when something seems off. No fluff—just the exact taps and clicks you need.
Ways To View The Google Reviews You Posted
There are a few routes, and they feel slightly different on computer, Android, and iPhone. Pick your device below and follow the path. Each path lands you on the same list: your published feedback, newest first.
| Device | Menu Path | What You’ll See |
|---|---|---|
| Computer (maps.google.com) | Menu → Your contributions → Reviews | Your posted reviews with dates, ratings, text, and photos. |
| Android (Google Maps app) | Contribute → View your profile → See all reviews | The full list of places you reviewed with edit and delete options. |
| iPhone & iPad (Google Maps app) | Tap your profile picture → Your profile → Reviews | Your review history, ordered by most recent activity. |
Step-By-Step On Each Platform
On A Computer
- Open Google Maps in a browser and sign in.
- Click the three-line Menu at the top left.
- Choose Your contributions, then pick Reviews.
- Scroll to find a place. Use your browser’s find tool to jump by name if needed.
- Click the three dots next to any item to edit or remove it.
The desktop view also has a share icon on each entry, handy when you need to send a link to a friend or a business owner.
On Android
- Open the Maps app.
- Tap Contribute at the bottom.
- Choose View your profile, then tap See all reviews.
- Tap the three dots on any entry to edit or delete.
Android groups your ratings, photos, and edits under the profile. The reviews tab is the clean list you want for quick scanning.
On iPhone Or iPad
- Open the Maps app and sign in with the same Google Account you used for posting.
- Tap your profile picture at the top right.
- Open Your profile, then choose Reviews.
- Use the three dots on an item to change or remove it.
The iOS flow mirrors Android with slight label changes. Once you reach the profile, the Reviews tab holds the full list.
Edit, Delete, Or Share Your Entries
You can change text, adjust a star rating, remove a photo, or pull a review down entirely. Pick the three dots next to the entry and choose the action. Edits replace the original while keeping the post on the same place page.
- Edit: Update wording, switch stars, or add new photos. The entry shows the latest edit date.
- Delete: Remove a review you no longer want live.
- Share: Send a direct link from the entry’s share icon.
If you need the official step list, see Google’s Find your reviews page, which matches the menu labels in each app version. That page also notes that all posted ratings are public.
What You’ll Find Inside Your Reviews List
The list shows each place with your stars, the first lines of your text, and any attached images. Tap or click an item to open the full entry on the place page. From there you can expand photos, copy a link, or refine wording.
Sorting And Searching Tips
- Newest first: Your list shows the latest activity at the top.
- Jump by place name: On desktop, use Ctrl/⌘+F with the business name.
- Skim by thumbnails: Photo badges flag entries where you uploaded pictures.
- Filter by type: Switch tabs between Reviews, Photos, and Edits to narrow your hunt.
Smart Shortcuts When You Have Hundreds Of Posts
Heavy contributors build up years of entries. A few habits keep the archive easy to work with. Add a short title-like line at the top of long texts so the preview tells you what the post covers. When you add photos, use one clear shot as the lead image. When you update text, keep the first line steady so future skims still match the preview.
On desktop, keep a running note with copy-paste blocks you use often, like “wheelchair access info” or “quiet seating times.” That keeps edits fast and consistent. On phone, store common lines in a text-expander app. When you later open your list of reviews, those lines act like quick labels while you scroll.
If A Review Seems Missing
Most gaps come down to account mix-ups, policy removals, or place changes. Work through the quick table below, then try the checks right after it.
| Symptom | Likely Reason | Quick Fix |
|---|---|---|
| You can see it on the place page, but not in your list. | Cached view or slow sync. | Refresh the app, then reopen the Reviews tab; desktop: hard-reload. |
| You can’t find it anywhere. | It may have been removed for policy issues. | Check Google’s user-generated content policy and avoid links, promo, or copied text. |
| Only some entries appear after you changed phones. | Signed into a different Google Account. | Sign out, then sign back in with the address you used to post. |
| The place closed or merged. | The listing moved to a new page. | Search the new listing; your post may sit under the updated page. |
Quick Checks That Fix Most Cases
- Confirm the account. In Maps, tap your profile picture and make sure the email matches the one you post with.
- Open the place page. Search the business, scroll to the reviews, and look for your name. If it shows, the post still exists.
- Scan for policy flags. Entries that break content rules may be taken down without a manual message.
- Try desktop. The full browser view often loads the archive faster than a phone on a slow connection.
- Restart the app. Close Maps completely, reopen, and check again.
- Clear cache. On Android, clear Maps cache; on iOS, reinstall if the app feels stuck.
Privacy And Profile Basics
All posted ratings on Maps are public. Your name from your About me page, other photos and videos you added, and your posted feedback can appear on your profile. You can change your profile name and photo in your Google Account. The reviews themselves don’t have a private mode.
If you want a personal copy, export your data with Google Takeout. Pick the Maps items that matter to you. A periodic export keeps a local record of your text and photos.
Tips For A Cleaner Review List
Keep Edits Tight
Short, specific updates are easier to scan later. If a place improves or changes hands, adjust the text and stars so your list stays accurate.
Use Photos With Context
Add an image when it clarifies a point—like a menu page or a storefront. Caption the shot with a brief line so the photo makes sense months later.
Avoid Content That Triggers Removal
Skip links, promo lines, off-topic rants, or personal info. Google outlines the do’s and don’ts on the policy page linked above. Clean entries stick around and are easier to retrieve.
Troubleshooting For Business Owners
If you manage a Business Profile and you’re trying to locate feedback you posted from your personal account, switch to your personal profile in the app. Owners can also reply to customer posts from the business view, but that sits in a different panel. When you’re wearing the owner hat, you’ll see a Reviews section on the business page itself with reply and report options. To see your own posts as a customer, use the paths in the device table at the top.
Businesses sometimes ask where a customer’s post went. Policy removals and duplicate listings are common reasons. Merged pages can move older entries. If you report an issue with a fake listing, keep screenshots of your customer’s text and the place ID so you can match it once Google settles the page structure.
Accessibility And Speed Tips
- Keyboard wins: On desktop, rely on the Tab key and arrow keys to move through entries fast.
- Larger touch targets: In phone settings, raise font size and bold text. The three-dot menu becomes easier to tap.
- Offline notes: If you typed a draft in a notes app before posting, keep that file. It acts as a backup if you ever need to repost.
Pro Tips For Power Users
Flag spots you plan to revisit by saving the place to a list. When you return, your old take sits one tap away on the same page. That makes it easy to refresh a rating after a menu change or a renovation.
Keep a simple tag system inside your text for later scanning. A short bracket like “[service speed]” or “[gluten-free note]” near the top helps you find patterns when you skim the list months later. Keep tags short and plain so the preview stays readable.
When writing on a phone, type long texts in a notes app first, then paste. You gain spellcheck, offline safety, and an archive you control. If the app crashes mid-post, you won’t lose a thing. Later, when you open your review history, those careful drafts make edits painless.
Method Notes
The steps in this guide mirror Google’s labels in each app version and match the official pathways documented in the Help Center. Menu names can change slightly by region and app version, but the core route—profile to Reviews—stays consistent.
