When you ‘check in’ to a location or a venue, your friends get pinged a message to let them know where you are and what you’re up to. They can join you if they fancy or just keep up-to-date with the spots you’re loving! ‘Check in’ to one location or venue enough times and you’ll earn the prestigious mantle of ‘mayor’.
