How to use Food Scan on Snapchat?
Using Food Scan is really easy. Just take a picture of food using your Snapchat application, then the app will automatically analyze the photograph and show you recipes provided by Allrecipes. According to Snapchat, the tool is able to recognize more than 1,200 ingredients and there are more than 4500 recipes available.
This may be an outstanding opportunity for parents who want to teach their child how to cook at home but who are concerned that the entire process is intimidating.
Food Scan also has the ability to discover Wikipedia links related to the meals in images, bringing users additional information about ingredients they may not be familiar with.
For now, this feature is only available to users who live in the United States.
