Every time you open the app, your Snapchat contacts can see where you are

That means you don't even have to publish a Snap, you 'just' look at your friends' Snaps and your Snapchat contacts will find out your location. Snapchat released a video with the publication of SnapMap to explain to Snapchat users how SnapMap works. Although the app asks whether your location can be shown to your Snapchat friends, it is not clear from the video that the function remains automatically on. Furthermore, not every user watches the video. You first have to switch your account to Ghost Mode so that other contacts can no longer see you . Because this information was not clearly communicated in the video, millions of users have unknowingly spread their location.

We at the Media Company are huge Snapchat fans, but we are using the new feature with caution. At an event or festival, it's worth turning off ghost mode, as you can quickly see where your friends are on the map. In everyday life, we prefer to remain invisible on the map!

geofilter
Snapchat has been using your location for a long time to create taiwan phone data location-based geofilters , for example. You can take a photo on Snapchat and put Düsseldorf lettering over the image . This function is very popular with many Snapchat users, especially when you're on vacation and want to tell your friends where you are. The difference with the new feature, however, is the accuracy of the location information . If you tell your friends that you're in Düsseldorf, they still won't be able to find you as quickly as with SnapMap.

Memory
A lot has happened at Snapchat. Just over a year ago, all of your contacts on Snapchat were shown who you exchanged snaps with most often. Your virtual best friend, so to speak. Back then, it was also not possible to save images. Today, both functions have changed. The virtual best friend no longer exists, which means Snapchat has created more privacy for its users. Today, you can save your images, download them, upload them from your camera history , and edit them . You control all of these functions with the memory function, which is nothing more than an image storage in the app.
