The company also included a new tab called ‘For You’ which automatically populated a list of spots which you love to go. And the tab will show suggestions about the places to visit according to the information which Google has about a user and he/she can follow suggestions to check out later. Moreover, places with automatic match score which shows the platform’s best guess at how much a user will enjoy them as a percentage and tapping on the score will give a detailed view explanation.
