In the past few days, Blogger has made major changes to the default sitemap.xml file structure, which can be seen in the Search Console, and also by adding sitemap.xml to your Blogger Site Homepage URL. This is a most welcome change, which will make the sitemap.xml file much friendlier because you will have to do nothing on your own, Blogger will do everything for you.
This is a welcome change from the previous Blogger sitemap.xml file which contained only 3000 URLs, which were divided into 20 smaller files of 150 URLs each Per Page. If you had more than 3000 URLs, you had to add extra files to get all your posts indexed - /sitemap.xml?page=21, /sitemap.xml?page=22, and so on.
Now there is no need to add any extra files on your own because the Sitemap index file will contain all your posts. The individual pages of the Sitemap index file will now contain 800 URLs Per Page instead of the previous 150 URLs Per Page. Apart from this, the /sitemap-pages.xml will contain all the Pages from your Blogger Blog.
If you had added extra sitemap.xml files of 150 URLs they will show no content and you will be able to easily remove these extra files by clicking on the file and going to the three dots at the top of the page and clicking on Remove Sitemap.
