Zillow announced today that it has integrated the Apple Maps Look Around feature into its real estate app, allowing potential homebuyers to take a closer look at the neighborhood around a house they are interested in.
With iOS 16, Apple added the Apple Maps Look Around feature to the MapKit API, which is available to developers, allowing developers to add the feature to third-party apps for the first time. Third party apps can now also use MapKit with the new 3D map experience available in some areas.
According to Zillow, the Look Around integration with interactive floor plans and 3D walkthroughs makes it “easier than ever” to get a “deep sense of your home and community.” Look Around can be accessed from the Zillow listing pages using the Zillow app for iOS devices.
The Zillow app already has SharePlay integrated, with Zillow also introducing support for Shared with You. Shared with You allows Zillow app users to view posts in the Zillow app that have been shared with them through the Messages app on iOS and Mac devices.
Zillow can be downloaded for free from the App Store. [Direct Link]
