Snapchat has announced the launch of Snap Map, which lets users share their location with friends on map. Each user will appear as an Actionmoji on the Map, which only updates when Snapchat app is opened. Users can simply pinch to zoom out and view the Map. Whether to share location with friends or not can be selected from the menu. People who don’t want to share their location at all, will need to use the Snapchat app in Ghost Mode.
Snap Map will roll out as an update for Android and iOS users. “We’ve built a whole new way to explore the world! See what’s happening, find your friends, and get inspired to go on an adventure!” Snap’s blog post read. “If your friends are sharing their location with you, their Actionmoji will appear on the Map. Actionmojis only update when you open Snapchat,” it added.
