On July 28, Snapchat announced its latest feature ‘My Places’ within Snap Map. The new feature provides users with information regarding restaurants, parks and other important locations.
Snapchat introduced My Places that aims to help users visit local business stores, connect with their friends and stay up to date with the latest events around the world:
“With My Places, Snapchatters can discover more than 30 million businesses, log their favourite local spots, and even find personalized recommendations informed by their friends and the global Snapchat community. Now, a quick pan around Snap Map not only helps Snapchatters stay in touch with the people they care about and keep up with global events, but also offers even more ways to help friends connect IRL.”
My Places has been divided into three distinct categories such as “Visited”, “Favorites” and “Popular”. The visited tab features locations that the user has visited, favorites includes the users favourite locations around the map and popular comprises the top trending locations recommended by the Snapchat community.
