What’s “Our Story”? The SnapMap also features an “Our Story” section. This should reveal the map and your friends’ locations. How do I get to the SnapMap? You can access the SnapMap by “zooming-out,” or by swiping your pointer and thumb together on the Snapchat camera page. In the SnapMap, you can click on a friend’s icon and see how long it has been since their location was updated. For example, if the last time you opened the app was at home and you have not opened it since, even though you are at work now, Snapchat will share your home location. Your location is updated each time you open the app. However, anyone who is your friend on Snapchat could share your location with others via a screenshot. Only your Snapchat friends can see your location - it is not public. Also, you can choose to share your location only with a custom group. You can choose to allow all of your Snapchat friends to view your location. Even if they themselves are not sharing their location, they can see yours.

Who can see my location? When you turn off Ghost Mode, Snapchat initially broadcasts your location to all of your Snapchat friends. “Ghost Mode” only prevents the use of the SnapMap. Even if you stay in “Ghost Mode,” you can use the rest of the features on the app. Where do I change my settings for this feature? You can access the choices for the SnapMap under “See My Location” in Settings. Otherwise, you can choose to stay in “Ghost Mode,” preventing anyone from seeing your location. In fact, the Snapchat app’s default setting for this feature is “off.” Snapchat calls this “Ghost Mode.” You may opt-in to share your location with your Snapchat friends. However, the SnapMap location sharing feature is optional. The app will show the user’s current or last known location to their SnapChat friends.Ĭan I control this feature? Snapchat now requires that you allow the app to use your location services if you want to access varied geofilters and news stories. The “SnapMap” utilizes iPhone’s location services to hone in on users’ location. In the summer of 2017, Snapchat added a new feature to its app.
