Google Maps may soon be more useful when it comes to food and your favorite restaurants.

The app “will apparently alert users when [it has] has found a newly-captured photo taken at a food related place on their device, and offer to attach that photo to a location for other users to see,” Android Police reports.

This will allow users to see what others are eating in the area and share their own food porn in a similar location. The app is different from Instagram in its geotargeting accuracy.

According to Eater, this isn’t the first time Google has shown interest in food photos. The company is reportedly working on a feature that would determine a food’s calorie content simply by scanning a photo. 

For the sake of our waistlines, we’re hoping these two technologies don’t overlap.
