Google Maps Gives You the Option to Personalize Your Saved Locations with Emojis
Google Maps has introduced a range of fresh features aimed at enhancing user engagement, comprehension, and overall experience. Notably, users can now interact with the voice assistant by issuing commands and receiving directions. Additionally, the company has released a sneak peek of its upcoming updates, showcasing the depiction of locations through emojis.
Google Maps custom emoji feature
Google recently shared a post on its X handle announcing a new Maps update that will allow users to customize their favorite places with custom emojis. The message said: “NEW UPDATE: now you can edit your saved places with emojis to find your favorite places faster.” Previously, all saved locations were displayed with the same icon, now emoji customization allows users to find locations faster.
Maps’ custom emoji feature works on both Android and iOS. Note that the feature also comes with a restriction that users cannot change icons for each saved location. Users can only change the icons of the entire list.
The goal of the new feature is to bring personalization to the application, where users can customize various things in their own way. This feature also helps them save time searching for each location and getting confused between the same old icons that were used before.
Google Maps has improved in several ways in recent months. Now the application is able to calculate routes, real-time traffic information, environmentally friendly options to optimize fuel savings and the integration of Google Voice Assistant.
