Google on Wednesday confirmed the ‘Follow feature’ in Google Maps for iOS. The 'Follow feature' was initially rolled out for Android users in October 2018 and now it has been introduced for iOS devices. The feature will let iOS users follow their favourite, cafe, restaurant or a bakery shop on Google Maps. To get regular updates about any upcoming event or discount offer of their favourite store, users would simply need to tap on the Follow button available on the Google Maps app. On following their favourite places on Google Map, users would be notified about the happenings of the store.
It will also help them know about the opening of a new cafe in the city or a great sale that is going to end in a nearby store. On the other hand, business owners will easily be able to post useful information for their customers and further, they can also check the number of followers they have on Google Maps.
Andrew Cooper, Product Manager at Google Maps, in a blog post said, “Starting this week, you can stay up to date on your favourite places right from the Google Maps app on iOS. Simply search for a place—whether it's a new restaurant that just opened up in your neighbourhood or that must-try bakery across town - and tap the Follow button. You'll then be able to see important updates from these places in your 'For You' tab so you can quickly learn about upcoming events, offers and more.
Cooper further elaborated, "And now, places and businesses all over the world can see their followers in the Google 'My Business' app, and actively post helpful information for their followers to see. The 'Follow' button starts rolling out on iOS today
