Snapchat is probably the most used app for keeping up the streaks and sending stories to your friends. The app offers a host of features like filters, geofilters, custom stories, and others. Recently, it added another feature called Shared Stories. Now, it’s updating the app with a useful feature that lets you look for restaurants in your location.
Snapchat adds restaurants to its Snap Map
Snapchat has added a new map layer to the existing Snap map. It has been created in partnership with The Infatuation, which is a restaurant review site. With this partnership, Snapchat gets the restaurant reviews feature and users can view restaurant reviews directly on the Snapchat app.
Users can also share their favorite restaurants and bookmark them. Interestingly, unlike any other app, you can get restaurant recommendations by occasion. For instance, you can narrow down the restaurant search by filters like birthdays, business meals, and others so that you get the perfect restaurant near you.
Isn’t it interesting? Here’s how you can use this feature.
