Google Maps’ ‘follow’ feature arrives on iOS

Google this week announced that iOS users can now follow their favourite places on Google Maps.

“Simply search for a place—whether it’s a new restaurant that just opened up in your neighborhood or that must-try bakery across town—and tap the Follow button,” the company said on its blog.

The feature, which launched on Android last October, also provides users with updates and highlights from the places they follow.

Google also revealed that businesses who use Google Maps will now be able to see their followers too.

The features have begun rolling out already.
