Facebook Places has launched in India, allowing Facebook users to start checking-in to businesses and locations added to the social network.
Today it seems India is the next country to receive the location-based service, coming shortly after Irish users reported the service was available in their country.
To take advantage of the service, Indian Android, BlackBerry and iPhone smartphone owners can access the Places icon within the smartphone application. Utilising its location-based technology, the app will list local businesses and locations added to the app, allowing users to check-in.
TechPP reports that iPhone users should be able to use their devices to check-in but Android users are aren't experiencing full functionality just yet, suggesting that Facebook could be implementing a gradual roll-out.
In the future the service will grow to include Places Deals, which are currently only available in the U.S, the UK, Germany, Spain, France and Italy and now Canada.
