Google maps blank - no maps tiles - still get directions

Using /e/OS Applications
1

My Google Maps doesn’t show any map tiles. It used to, now it just shows all white or all black. I’m not sure when it stopped working. Oddly, I can still get directions and it is able to get my location. I tried purging data & cache, rebooting, re-installing the app, and changing light/dark mode. Any ideas? For now I’ve just gone back to Magic Earth. I have not tried signing into a google account (hoping to avoid that on my /e/ OS Murena phone!)

As I mentioned there, one workaround is to downgrade the apps and prevent automatic updates until the underlying issue has been fixed.
