Open Google Maps, go to “Your contributions” → “Reviews” to view, edit, or share the reviews you posted.
If you’ve rated coffee shops, hotels, salons, or local spots, those comments live under your Google Maps profile. You can pull them up on a phone or a computer in seconds, keep or tweak the text, add photos, or share a direct link with friends. This guide lays out clear paths for every device, plus fixes for common snags like missing entries or reviews tied to the wrong account.
Ways To View Your Posted Google Reviews
There are several quick routes to your own content. Pick the flow that matches your device and where you already are in Maps.
| Platform | Path | What You Can Do |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop (maps.google.com) | Menu → Your contributions → Reviews | View, edit, delete, or share a posted review. Source: Find & share your reviews. |
| Android App | Contribute → Profile → Reviews | See your list, open any item, tap the three dots to edit or remove. See Contribute tab. |
| iPhone/iPad App | Contribute → Profile → Reviews | Browse your posts, update text, adjust stars, attach photos. See iOS Contribute tab. |
Desktop Steps: See, Edit, Or Share Your Posts
1) Go to maps.google.com and sign in. 2) Click the hamburger icon at the top left. 3) Choose Your contributions. 4) Open the Reviews tab to list everything you’ve written. From here you can open any entry, copy its share link, or click the three dots to change or remove it. Google’s help page confirms this exact flow and the edit/delete options under the three-dot menu (Add, edit, or delete reviews).
What The Desktop Page Shows
You’ll see a vertical list with star ratings, timestamps, text, and any photos you attached. Each card links to the place page. When you click through, your review appears near the top of the reviews list with a “Your review” badge.
How Sharing Works On Desktop
Open a review and look for the share option. You can copy a link to post on social apps or send in a message thread. This link takes people straight to the place’s review section with your write-up visible on that page (share a review).
Phone Steps: Android And iPhone
The Maps app groups all your ratings and comments under your profile. The quickest route is the Contribute tab, which also shows points and badges if you’re part of Local Guides.
Android Walkthrough
1) Open Google Maps. 2) Tap Contribute on the bottom bar. 3) Tap your profile card. 4) Choose Reviews. That screen lists every place you reviewed, newest first. Tap the three dots on any card to update or remove text and change the star count. Google outlines this profile path inside its Contribute documentation (find your contributions).
iPhone And iPad Walkthrough
1) Open Google Maps. 2) Tap Contribute. 3) Open your profile. 4) Tap Reviews. The options mirror Android: open a card to see details, tap the three dots to revise or remove. Apple users follow the same Contribute entry point described in the iOS help page (use the Contribute tab).
Review Management: Edit, Delete, Or Add Photos
Edits and removals live behind the three-dot menu on each review. Changing text, swapping photos, or adjusting stars updates the public timestamp to the latest edit date. That behavior is confirmed in Google’s help article (edit or delete your review).
What Edits Change
- Text updates: Fix typos or add context. The visible date reflects the edit time.
- Star changes: Adjust your rating up or down. This refreshes the date stamp too.
- Photo swaps: Add or remove images; the review reorders in your list based on the new time.
When Deleting Makes Sense
Use delete if the business closed, you posted under the wrong place page, or your experience changed later and you’d rather write a fresh note after another visit. Removal takes effect on the place page and in your profile view.
Privacy And Public Visibility
Reviews are public. Your profile shows your display name, badges, and the content you contribute. Google’s help center spells this out clearly, along with a link to manage profile settings (who can find your contributions and the about public info section).

Why Your Posts Might Not Appear
If you can’t see a comment you’re sure you wrote, run through these checks.
Signed Into The Right Account
If the three-dot menu only offers “Write a review,” you’re likely signed into a different Google account. Swap accounts from the profile avatar and check again. Community experts mention this symptom when a review belongs to another login, which removes the edit/delete options from your view in Maps (community note).
Policy Filters And Removals
Reviews can be filtered or removed when they break content rules. The help center page outlines prohibited content, like spam or incentives, and explains that removed posts aren’t reinstated (review policies link).
Delay In Syncing
Fresh posts and edits can take a bit to show everywhere. Mobile and desktop may look out of sync for a short window. Check again later, then try a different device or a private browser window.
Troubleshooting Checklist
| Issue | Fix | Where To Check |
|---|---|---|
| Can’t find a past post | Confirm the Google account; switch via profile avatar | Maps app or maps.google.com |
| No edit/delete option | Review isn’t tied to this login; sign into the right account | Three-dot menu on the review card |
| Review vanished | Check content rules; removed items aren’t restored | Review policies |
| Photo missing | Re-add from the review’s edit screen | Review card → three dots → Edit |
| Device mismatch | Refresh, clear cache, or check on another device | Mobile app and desktop |
Power Tips For Faster Access
Create A Browser Bookmark
On desktop, open Your contributions → Reviews and add a bookmark. Next time, one click shows your list with the newest item at the top.
Use Place Search To Jump In
If you remember the venue name, search for it in Maps and open the place page. Your review appears with a “Your review” tag. From there you can edit, remove, or share without visiting the contributions hub.
Add Photos After Posting
Open the review, tap the three dots, and attach a photo. This refreshes the timestamp and can make your post more helpful to others choosing a place.
Editing Etiquette That Helps Readers
Keep your note clear and specific. Mention what you bought or used, the date of the visit, and any details that would help someone else plan. If an issue was resolved later, say so when you update the text. Balanced feedback earns more “Helpful” taps and makes your profile stronger for people browsing local spots.
Account And Profile Basics
Your profile shows a display name, photo, contribution counts, and badges. You can tweak visibility settings, but posted ratings and comments are public content. See Google’s page about who can find your contributions for the exact privacy scope and links to profile settings (profile visibility).
What To Do If You Still Don’t See A Review
Check For Place Merges Or Duplicates
Sometimes two versions of a business page exist. If the place merged or the address changed, your post might appear under the new page. Search the business name and address together, then look for your comment on the updated listing.
Scan Your Email
If you posted with a different account, you may find a “Thanks for your contribution” email in that inbox. That hint points to the right login for the review you’re chasing.
Try Web And App
Open the same listing on desktop and phone. If one shows the entry and the other doesn’t, wait a bit and check again. Short delays can happen when edits or new media are still processing.
How Removal Decisions Work
Google filters content that breaks rules around spam, conflicts of interest, or incentives. The help center says removed items aren’t restored, which keeps the review sections clean for readers weighing where to go (policies and removals).
Quick Reference: Edit Or Delete
Desktop
- Menu → Your contributions → Reviews.
- Open a card → three dots → Edit review or Delete review.
Android
- Contribute → Profile → Reviews.
- Open a card → three dots → change text, stars, or photos.
iPhone/iPad

Final Takeaway
Your comments live in one tidy list inside Google Maps. Use the Menu on desktop or the Contribute tab on mobile to reach Your contributions, then tap Reviews. From there you can keep, tweak, remove, or share any post with a couple of taps. If something’s missing, verify the account, review the content rules, and try both app and web. Those steps cover nearly every case.
