Yelp App Uses Compass on New Apple Watch Series 5 for Better Directions [Video]

Yelp has updated its app to use the compass on the new Apple Watch Series 5 and better direct you to local businesses.

Now, with the Apple Watch Series 5, you’ll find a new compass feature that points you in the right direction of a local business. The compass will appear on the bottom right-hand corner of Yelp business listings. Based on where you’re facing, the compass will turn with you in real-time, providing updated estimates of how many miles or feet a business is away from you.




If a user has indicated their personal preferences on the Yelp iOS app, then the Yelp app on watchOS 6 will also reflect their personalized results. These businesses will be labeled “for you,” using the same recently introduced heart icon found in the iPhone app. Users with watchOS 6 will also notice that the Yelp app has a new modernized look, with an updated scrolling user interface.

You can download Yelp from the App Store for free.
