Google is further developing the social features of Google Maps with the rollout of a new ‘community feed’ under the Explore tab of Google Maps. This is taking place globally for both Android and the iPhone.

According to Google, every day, people submit more than 20 million contributions including recommendations for their favourite spots, updates to business services, new reviews and ratings, photos, answers to other people's questions, updated addresses and more on the Google Maps community.

Now, the community feed will bring together helpful local information and tailor it to the selected interests of users. It will show you the latest reviews, photos and posts added to Google Maps by local experts and people you follow as well as food and drink merchants, and articles from publishers like The Infatuation, the search giant said in a blog post.

More exposure for Google Posts: Google wrote in its blog post, “In early testing of the community feed we saw that posts from merchants are seen two times more than before the feed existed. So now more people can see if a local business is offering a new service, has a limited time specialty or opened outdoor seating.”
