When did Bing Places Remove the Option to Add Categories?

[JoyHawkins]

So I'm pretty much never on Bing and was wondering if any of you know when Bing Places got rid of the option to add categories to a listing?

Categories are present for me. Grocery Supermarkets.

I'm seeing it across multiple cats. Maybe a glitch just for you?

The thing I think is hilarious about Bing is they now invite you to import all your Google listings.
1) it's clear who the gorilla is
2) do they really realise how messed up that gorilla is?!

 

[JoyHawkins]

Yeah, it was just an error on my part. I have them now.

Another Bing question. I'm noticing a drop in the insurance industry and am wondering if other industries are seeing it as well. Can you tell me if your Bing insights graphs look like this?

Heard back on what's going on here: Bing's API has been down since around May 17. This is a recognized technical issue on Bing's end and is expected to be resolved first week of august.
