Those who like cooking will love this new feature by Snapchat. It
has rolled out a tool called ‘Food Scan’. This will allow users to obtain
recipe recommendations just by scanning the ingredients that they have on hand.
This integration is a result of a collaboration with Allrecipes. To use it, you just have to line up the items
you have in the Snap camera and then hold down your finger on screen. The scan
process will begin and relevant recipe matches will pop up. As such, users will
be able to obtain more inspiration for their culinary choices. ‘Food Scan’
offers several other benefits. For instance, there is an option called
‘Nutrition Scan’ that will give you more insight into the health considerations
of packaged foods. Additionally, you can access food facts from Wikipedia,
which is another way to learn about what you are eating.
This is not the first time that Snapchat has worked on improving
the ‘Scan’ feature. According to the firm, more than 170 million people now use
this tool every month. One of its other
functionalities allows users to obtain information on wines by scanning the
label, find out more about dog breeds, plants, and music, and get product
recommendations based on an image.
