Gmail accounts

I've been locked out of my gmail accounts since Saturday 7, forgot my passwords, in trying to work through googles online help pages I've also lost my youtube and google accounts, and now my retrieval phone [protected] - and they always list it twice, only the second time works) has been locked out,
on Mon Jan. 9 a message came up that a code would be sent in 48 hours through another email account - [protected]@aol.com (surprised it was still there), today I received message that another code will be sent in 120 hours!
I'm finding the google help pages to be extremely complicated and useless at this stage and absolutely no other support available.
Desired outcome: to get my emails back
Google family link
I married an it tech guy had a kid. He's been hacking me since 2016. Has recently been able to keep me from being able to function in a society where you must use emails and phones for everything. Jasper Lucas gained access to my account because he stole a phone when he had me arrested on false charges back in 2014. My son has been kicked out of homeschool because he wasn't able to access his work because of his father. I have three kids and no help. Jasper has prevented me from apply for food stamps and housing and attending school. This all through your personal nightmare. Then you have no way to call or reach out to you about your product being used to destroy. Everything. Three accounts. [protected]@icloud [protected]@yahoo.com [protected]@gmail.com erin. [protected]@yahoo.com Erin. [protected]@gmal
Desired outcome: I would like all of his use of your product to be denied asap!! Give me back what he's used your product to steel from me and his son. He shouldn't be able to use this to terrorise people.
Android 13
XCSoarData dir not accessible due to scoped storage policy of Android.
This is causing a real safety issue as it prevents NOTAM files from being easily loaded into a shared directory from another application. I dont want to have to redesign my instrument panel to accommodate a non android device just because Google has forced a change of file policy on the developers.
Desired outcome: Shared directories so that the app works as it should.

Google maps
Google Maps is showing incorrect data and has caused several accidents and injuries. We as a community have been trying to send numerous messaged to Google Maps with map changes, but we are purely ignored.
One of these days there might be a law suite against Google against property damage and even people injuries (truck driver broke several ribs when his truck fell over).
So what is the problem?
At least one person a day gets a location pin send to him form a supplier to go to a specific location. The location pin takes him/her to a very rural area with the road condition being in a very bad conditions. Very often huge trucks with trailers get the pin with the wrong location.
The location pin that the person needs to go to is never the same, so there is no pattern, but it shows Tshwane Municipality.
Even on my own mobile phone, if I select Tshwane Municipality (Pretoria Municipality), I get directed to the rural place. Attached foto's and screenshots.
I have tried to "block" the road in Google Maps, but nothing I tried is working.

Desired outcome: Please fix asap, this is a very dangerous situation, people could have died with the truck accident, see photo!
Chrome
The Assistant is an obscenity that Google has determined is necessary but most or many users just don't use it. It is a horrid app that aids Google making money off the users. It tracks users and reports it to to hose who pay. They do not care about our privacy or security if they can make a buck. As evident by their recent court decision on their violation of privacy and security of users.
Desired outcome: Remove the Assistant, provide users with a method to remove the blight on users. Or dismantle Google as they do not respect users.
Why does Android have SpyWare attached to their provided Text Messenger in the form of Chat Bot? Yes I know it collects ad revenue for the creater but it ads SPAM from unknown people and it comes with a complete address book of its own that enables it. You have no right to choose what appsI can and cannot remove ... You did not give me the phone I bought it so where does Google get the right to blight their users with this [censored] creation that few want. You close any discussion about this problem and deny users Comment without fixing the problem.
I need my purchases fixed so I can use my google play balance and I want to refunds that was approved to be paid to me.
I have not been able to make a purchase with my Google play balance for 3 days I filed for refunds and never received them as soon as I filed for the refunds my purchase would fail I was told that Google play was doing a security update that would take 24 hours its been 4 days and I have been through 4 reps and still nothing is done I am able to make a purchase if I use my bank card but I don't want to use my card that's why I bought a code for Google play this money is already in my account there should be no way that I cannot use what I already paid for. They have it set up that if you don't recognize a purchase or dissatisfied you can hit a button to request refund. So I requested a refund but right after I am not able to purchase nothing without using a bank card this is not right when I have a balance in my Google play account. Its been 4 days and nothing has been fixed.
Gmail
I lost my phone now I lost my password list for my gmail account. I can't log in and it is needed badly to access other sites mainly my casino site which I use daily this is a very frustrating safety device you have in place to keep hackers out but all it really does is prevent me from keeping my email to use and my pics on there were important ones I can't ever GWT back I would have not used your highly regarded site to do everything if I knew how easily they could be taken from the one and only Google . why is that you service providers think that you can play god and hand out the rule book and trap users like me into a corner and continue to keep us there once we have your apps downloaded and our lives saved on them ? Why don't you have a system that's universal so I'm not constantly verifying and reverifying my accounts over and over every time I want to do some thing I need to confirm confirm confirm I mean I spend more time getting nothing done like right now then actually using my free time for me not for yours . can you please send me required information along with 2 types of acceptable conformation
Desired outcome: To be able to open a account and access it without takin a prerequisite PhD in app school some of us are not so worried about hackers and more concerned with life
Verification of id
My husband sent money to my Google Pay account. He thought he was on the phone with Apple Support, unfortunately, he was talking with a Scam Artist.
My account was eventually locked down pending verification of my ID. I have have sent in my Drivers License and Bank Statement but to no avail. Each time I submit, 9 submissions so far, an hour later I get another notice that I need verify my ID... but with no suggestions on what to submit next.
This has been going on since August 24 and I could really use that money stuck in limbo.
Who can help us with this?
Desired outcome: I would like my account reopened so I can access my money.
Google maps
have placed a gypsy site incorrectly on the map right next to my holiday let. They have wrongly labelled the whole area postcode of PH34 4EX as 'travelling people's site.' This is stopping people booking with my business There is a travelling people's site but it is along the next lane about a mile away.
I have reported this 5 times and am getting no response whatsoever.
They need to either remove'travelling people's site' from the post code PH34 4EX or move the pin with this label to the right place where the travelling people's site actually is. Every minunte this isnt done is a potential lost client for numerous holiday lets in the area of Achnabobane
Desired outcome: Move the pin to the right place, but preferably remove' travelling people's site' from the post code so that it reflects the much wider area and numerous houses that are in the postcode area
YouTube TV
Hello,
I am writing this because my bank will not pursue further. I "Had" YouTube TV, I did not have it for the month of Oct.2022 because I moved to MD and the person I moved in with had all of the web sites herself.
But Google took out of my bank account $64.99 that I really needed and still need because I am on a fixed income. I have been back n fourth with my bank and are the ones that said Google is the one to get my money back.
So, I would like my money back please. My nerves are shot and I'm getting real mad with this back n fourth with this for over a month. I need my money back!
Thank you
Pia B.
Gmail
I have lost access to another Gmail account through forced security measures that require a phone number to login, even with the correct password.
The events in which this happens are as follows. I removed the phone number from the account and made the primary recovery another Gmail account. (It was already there anyway.) Tried to sign in and it prompts for a phone number - (I answered I don't have my phone) Tried another way. I got a verification number through the other email address and used it, then was told my recovery account had recent changes made, so they couldn't verify it was my account. (Those recent changes were nothing more than revoking the rights to any personal data collection and deleting all history that had been collected) Then it will give you a message that says you are locked out for 24 hours so they can verify the account is yours... repeat all this in 24 hours... repeat again in 24 hours...
Without a phone number, you are locked out permanently.
I figured this was a fluke.. nope - This has happened with two separate accounts and though it may not be necessary for some to understand this, I have several accounts that are used for different purposes. IE; One specifically for gaming, one for security I use for the tech I access (VPN, malware, antivirus subscriptions, etc) Yes, I could create folders in one account for these things, but I'm old school and prefer having a system of my own that has a specific purpose for each area. I DO NOT WANT THEM LINKED TOGETHER, for what I would assume are obvious reasons.
But this is pretty damn redundant, because they are linked simply by using a main account that all of them can be used for to recover access. So why is it Google/Gmail are so desperate to have a phone number attached to an account so much so that you lose the account when the phone number is removed? These are not new accounts, I have had them for YEARS. Essentially, this is blackmail. You want something back that is in our possession, you give us what we want to do with what we please. Fairly certain the random ads I keep getting are a side effect of the phone number being collected.
They are hiding behind unnecessary protocols that boast protection, but ultimately prey on people by way of BLACKMAILING for a phone number. PERIOD.
Desired outcome: The company needs to remove their forced security login measures by way of offering an opt out and locking out consumers when they choose not to give a phone number;
My google accounts and lack of help
I've been hacked by an ex partner and they slowly delete everything. My phone's being used remotely to change things. I change passwords and they change them right then. Even the recovery shows extra computers that aren't mine and it's constant. I had things saved for a divorce and if I wouldn't have kept them elsewhere they'd be gonna forever. I can't load them on my phone for sure. I need help but there is nothing. Watch as your life disappears. Bradley Tillett. +[protected]
Desired outcome: If live if someone works help and get my recovery stuff back.
Can't sign in!!!
I put my sim card in a different mobile and tried to sign in to google. Google kept asking me to verify it was actually me on the new mobile and kept sending notifications to my other mobile which no longer had a SIM card in it and so could not RECEIVE the notification. I tried other sign ins like my laptop but good old google insisted on sending notifications to my other mobile which did not have a SIM in it to receive notifications. This is very annoying and irritating in the extreme. What am I supposed to do?
New double sign in.
Please can I opted. out of two sign in. at least let me do it on one device? If I start on my phone then where does my second sign in come from. I don't take my desktop computer with me. I certainly don't carry my Kindle out of the house. If I need Google maps I need this other device. Right? My son handicapped only has a phone. Where does he get a second sign in?

Desired outcome: Money put back for all transactions
