The promised Pokemon Go social feature is coming to the game via Campfire, a social application created by Niantic Labs that helps you discover other players, places and experiences.
The new social experience is a real-world social network that starts with a map and adds people, events, communities, and messaging.
Here, players can discover others in their local area, message one another and share content, organize events and meetups, and foster the kinds of “real-world social connections” that Niantic prefers.
