Foursquare for Android and iOS now lets you check friends in, with permission
If you regularly hang out with Foursquare aficionados, you've likely seen conversations grind to a halt as everyone dutifully checks in at the same restaurant.

Those comfortable with Foursquare's safeguards can grab the new app through the source links.
