Snapchat New Feature for Safety

Snapchat New Feature

There comes this Snapchat new feature related to live location sharing, that will enable users to share their location, in real time, with chosen connections via the Snap Map.

Take a look at the screenshot below – the new Live Location option enables you to share your location with a chosen friend, or friends, for 15 minutes, an hour or 8 hours at a time, providing a direct way to enable them to keep tabs on where you’re at. Live location is displayed in your private chat window with your chosen connection, with a timer at the top of the map display counting down the sharing time.

Even though SnapMap had the feature of sharing the location since long back, but, in this version of the Snapchat new feature, users would be able to share their love location, which would enable something like WhatsApp live location tracking.

Even though this Snapchat new feature is quite useful, But there are also risks. Domineering partners could force their significant other to share their location in the app, and if you do let the wrong person track your whereabouts, that could, of course, be problematic.

However, truth be told be told, the benefits outweigh the risks! So get going…use this Snapchat new feature.

Snapchat new feature can be accessed via friends’ profiles in the app, where you’ll be able to choose how long each specific friend will be able to see your location.
