Glovo Launches Major App Update with Social Features

Glovo has launched its most significant app update since 2016, introducing social media elements to enhance food discovery and user engagement. The new features include a video discovery wall, allowing users to explore dishes through dynamic videos, and 'Picks,' which enables users to create personalized lists of favorite restaurants. This update aims to foster community interaction, allowing users to connect with friends, share recommendations, and discover new dining options. Currently available in Madrid and Barcelona, Glovo plans to expand these features to 22 other countries where it operates. Chief Product Officer Daniel Alonso emphasized the company's innovative approach in merging social networking with food delivery. This move comes as on-demand delivery services seek new revenue avenues amid post-pandemic challenges.
