This could definitely come in handy, especially during the Coronavirus quarantine.
Apple has altered how Apple Maps displays nearby search results during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, with the app now focusing on providing quicker access to food deliveries, pharmacies, and grocery locations close to the user.
The change, which was discovered by German web site iPhone-Ticker.de, noted that as of Tuesday, the list, which generally includes restaurants, fast food, rapid transit, cafes, and supermarkets, among other frequently-needed items, had changed.
Tapping the search box now prioritizes default searches for pharmacies, hospitals, and urgent care sites near the top of the list. In some classes, the app will also display restaurants that offer food delivery as higher than other restaurants on the list.
This could definitely come in handy, especially for those under official orders to stay at home, not go outside, and practice social distancing. In many areas affected by the rules, food deliveries are preferred over restaurants, with the latter likely to be delivery-only or shut down entirely.
The change is slowly rolling out to users around the world, and not everyone is seeing the altered list at this time.
