Facebook is Updating Its App Today to Improve Discovery of Nearby Places

Facebook has announced that it is updating its app today to improve discovery of nearby places your friends like.

Find New Places
From the app menu, open the tab to find local spots your friends have recommended, checked into, or liked. If you’re looking for a place to eat, choose a category like Restaurants to see what’s nearby. When you find a place that looks interesting, tap to see info like friends who’ve been there and business hours.

Share Places with Friends
In addition to discovering new places to visit, you can share what you think by rating or recommending places to your friends. Your own suggestions become more personalized the more you and your friends rate, recommend, and check into places.


The Facebook app will be updated with these new features later today. You can download Facebook from the App Store for free.
