Unable to See Google Street View on Wayfarer Nominations Pages

Would be nice to have Google Street View back on the nomination page. Helps to know if a Google Photosphere has become "live" and if even I need to create one in the first place. Why was this removed from the nomination page?
EDIT: correct grammar mistakes from mobile phone typing.

I agree, this was very helpful to see map view and streetview for our nominations in wayfarer. Since it's gone it's more difficult to check if we made our nominations in correct location.
I hope it will be back, as it was a very good and needed feature.
Indeed, sometimes in areas with noticeable GPS drift, my sausage fingers put the nomination in totally the wrong place (i.e. not on the nomination itself). The fact that I cannot see the Google Street View or the satellite view is concerning. There has bee no communication as to why this change has been made. If they has consulted the people who use Wayfarer, there would have been a resounding "don't do this".
My experience is not matching the descriptions of this problem exactly, but it is a bad update that either needs to be fixed or reverted. I run into the occasional black streetview, but by using the arrow in the top left I can reset the Location Accurcy review screen to display the satellite view and then drag the stick figure back on to the satellite view to activate Street View. In my case, at least, Street View has not been removed, but rather, it is not functioning the same way as it used to.
Screenshots?
We're talking about in the NOMINATIONS management screen, not while reviewing.
Yes exactly. Though of course the reviewing screen has its fair share of issues. All the changes really make one wonder if Niantic staff who made the changes actually use Warfarer. How frequently do they review they review nominations these day?
Please bring this back.
Yes I agree. It is also good for double checking the location and checking if photospheres that I have created have been published. I would love this feature back. Take my up vote!
Will add my voice to this one. Yes please fix!
Nice to have you on-board! If it gets enough attention, Niantic will be forced to address this issue! Just bring back the former Wayfarer layout! So much better!
Hello All,
Please note that this is a known issue and I'm happy to report that it'll be a part of our next update coming soon. Thanks!
Thank you
Apparently an update arrived this week, so I'm guessing it will happen in the next update. Whenever that will be. When can we expect the next round of improvements to Warfarer?
As it is not only can I not see street view, most times I can't even see my supporting photo and text or any location information like address without continually clearing my cache.
Was this ever a feature of Wayfarer itself? Last time I used this feature it was just part of WayFarer+...
Yes, it was a feature of basic wayfarer site.
I never used Wayfarer+, and I could check streetview for my nominations in wayfarer before the recent update.
It wasn't only a wayfarer+ feature, everyone could use it in wayfarer site, and now it's gone.
When can we expect this feature to be returned to us?
I'd like to know too!
Dear Niantic, can we get some more information when this bug will be fixed?
@NianticTintino any updates on when (or even if) this will be fixed?
Thank you for resurfacing this issue. Brough it back to the team and will report back when I have more updates. From what I could tell, the last time I may have misread the reports and saw that it was addressed in the review page but not the nominations page.
Will report back when I have more!
Safe Exploring!
