Snapchat to display local restaurants
Snapchat has teamed up with The Infatuation, a restaurant review website, to assist Snap Map users to find the best local restaurants. In more than 50 cities across the world, Snapchat users will now receive Infatuation feedback in their Place Profiles right away. Last year, Snapchat added Layers to Snap Map as a new way for people to find stuff to do with their friends. According to Snapchat, the first two Layers were used over 100 million times in just a few months.
Cities where this feature is available
The number of cities which can access this feature right now is quite limited. You can use it only if you live in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Austin, Seattle, Philadelphia, Miami, Atlanta, Denver, D.C., and London. You may use the Layer to identify top Infatuation-approved eateries in their neighborhoods. For using this feature, you will have to go to the new menu in the upper right corner of the Snap Map and tap The Infatuation icon.
What you can do with this feature?
After activating the Layer, you will be able to browse all your favorite local restaurants. You can share your favorites with others via chat, and add places to your favorites to return to later.

Snapchat with Ticketmaster
Earlier this year, Snapchat partnered with Ticketmaster to provide a new way for Snap Map users to discover live entertainment events. Snap Map is used by more than 250 million individuals each month, according to the business. The app now suggests upcoming shows based on your tastes, which you can peruse by swiping left and right. This, according to the startup, is a redesigned dating app that matches users with fascinating events rather than relationships. The company’s agreement with Ticketmaster was the first time it used its Layers feature to integrate a partner into Snap Map.

Snapchat’s collaboration with this restaurant review website will open new doors for the users. With this feature, you can use the new Snap Map function to find restaurants of various types. You will be able to learn more about the eatery using the Snapchat app. In fact, you can even search for eateries and receive recommendations based on your needs. The function includes a filter option that allows you to search for venues based on your preferences and events. However, at this moment this feature is available for only a limited number of cities.
