pokemon-go
So today I went to the neighboring town for some needs there I saw a pokestop and another gym which had blank photo discs
These pokestop and gym are new, these weren't there a month before , and I didn't nominate it.
What makes it happen so? I have created 2 stops and a gym in my town, all containing proper photo disc !
As of version 0.29.0, players may buy PokeStop Modules from the Store using PokeCoins. In future revisions, some Modules may be acquired from Pokestops, but that is not the case yet.
The following modules exist in the game as of the latest revision:
In the main menu shop, you can purchase a Lure Module to be used at Pokestops. These attract wild Pokemon not only for you, but for other people as well.

On May 5 2021, Niantic did a batch import of new waypoints from some third-party database. This import was not done correctly, and included a large number of waypoints that did not meet quality standards, which among other things included many not having a photo attached.
