Hello, good afternoon. I’m relatively new to Niantic Wayfarer. I’ve already created several wayspots in my town, but I just had a problem with one I created last week. It turns out that at the time, the wayspot (which is a sign) was being subtly obscured by a plant. For reasons of preserving the bea…

Photo gallery for me didn’t become accessible until Yesterday when I reached level 38.

slide over to it if you don’t see it in the corner. i don’t have an example in front of me i can share, but the new photo will be on the pokestop as soon as it is accepted. you may have to tap on the main photo then swipe to see the new one. i just did that yesterday but did not take screenshots. u…

It’s a long time since I did a “Photo Edit”, I assume it still has the 48 hours before it appears in game? When was it Accepted?

@SerAmanda may have examples saved

I don’t know if it’s a bug or not. I kinda figured it’s like how Ingress used to have different parts of the wayfarer process unlock at different levels. Though if it is an intentional choice, it’s certainly odd that they made it so that you can submit a new photo, but then be unable to view and vot…

[1000098191] It appears like this, the photo square doesn’t appear and it doesn’t allow me to slide, I don’t understand why.
