Interestingly, the new feature is designed to make Snap Map more of a utility.
According to The Verge, more than 250 million people use Snapchat's built-in map to see where their friends are in the world. The map interface was recently upgraded to a main tab inside the app, and on Thursday, the company has added a new feature that will surface popular places for you to visit.
The map feature will start scouting for the places, such as restaurants and bars for a user, which they have either tagged in past posts or added in the favourites options.
Reportedly, the 'Popular' tab at the bottom center of the Snap Map will show recommendations for places to go based on factors like a user's current location, and the kind of places one had saved as favourites.
"This new algorithm in our Popular Tab sets Snap Map apart as a highly personalized discovery platform, and is a first-of-its-kind feature for Snapchat, overall," a Snapchat spokesperson told The Verge.
