What are Snap Maps and how do I use them?

Asked a year ago
Snap Maps is a feature on Snapchat that allows users to see the real-time location of their friends on a map. To use Snap Maps, simply open the app and pinch your screen to access the map. You can then see the Bitmoji avatars of your friends who have chosen to share their location. Customizing your privacy settings is important, and you can choose to share your location with all friends, select friends, or go into Ghost Mode to keep your location private. Additionally, you can explore various heat map features that display popular events or locations. To stay connected with friends, you can also message or watch their Stories directly from the Snap Map. Remember to use Snap Maps responsibly, respecting others' privacy and only sharing your location with those you trust.
