The new update was aimed at simplifying Foursquare in order to show users what is most relevant to them now. The update brings the location-networking app to version 6.4, and a major addition is the new “nearby” button that allows users to see which of their friends are in the general vicinity.
It also adds the ability to check one’s friends’ most recent check-ins, letting users more easily plan meet-ups. By clicking on a friend’s profile, users can also dig deeper into that friend’s recent activities.
The app also uses current user location data to show interesting locations based on real-time positions. Foursquare has also redesigned its app in order to be more in line with the look of iOS 7.
The new version of Foursquare is now available as a free download from the App Store or Google Play Store.
