Foursquare updates iOS app with check-in feature
Foursquare has updated its iOS app, which now allows users to check-in friends – but only with their permission.
Previously, you could mention your friends on Foursquare but not actually check them in.
Now there is a one-time approval setup which means after your friends approve the first check-in, you can check them in places at any time in the future.
The overall aim of Foursquare is to increase the chance of more people checking-in, by making it easy to involve as many people as possible.
