• Snapchat’s new Snap Map shares your location

    A furore has erupted over Snapchat’s new location-sharing Snap Map – unless you set the app to “Ghost Mode”, your location is shared with your contacts.

    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!

    It’s easy to get started — just pinch to zoom out and view the Map! You decide if you want to share your location with friends, or simply keep it to yourself with Ghost Mode.

    If your friends are sharing their location with you, their Actionmoji will appear on the Map. Actionmojis only update when you open Snapchat.

    We hope you enjoy the new Map as much as we do!
    Happy Snapping!
    Team Snap

    Many are retweeting instructions on how to set the Ghost Mode, while many are debating why anyone thought this was a safe idea…
