Google Maps for iOS gets ‘Follow’ button to get store updates

Google has announced that starting today, Google Maps users on iOS can stay up to date on your favorite places. Simply search for a place—whether it’s a new restaurant that just opened up in your neighborhood or that must-try bakery across town and tap the Follow button. Once you’ve followed places, news from them—like events, offers, and other updates will appear in the For you tab. And now, places and businesses all over the world can see their followers in the Google My Business app, and actively post helpful information for their followers to see. The Follow button on Google Maps for iOS finally starts rolling out.
