The feature will have a simple intuitive functionality. Each time users snap a photo of their meal, they will get a notification on their phone prompting them to upload the photo on Google maps. The notification will appear when photos are taken on bars, restaurants or places Google considers to be of importance.

Foodies rejoice!
