Live location sharing is an essential feature expected from all social media applications and Snapchat is no exception to provide this indispensable feature to its users. How is it different from location sharing on Snap Map? Let’s take a closer look at the feature to find out.
How to Share Your Live Location on Snapchat
The circumstances that require people to find each other in the real world are too numerous to mention. The necessity of live location sharing is to speed up the process with maximum efficiency, such as avoiding wrong detours or chaos related to unfamiliarity with the location of the party.
Snapchat allows for live location sharing between friends who have mutually accepted each other in a personal setting. Simply put, live location sharing is a customizable feature that allows you to share your “current location” using your device’s GPS with an individual contact on Snapchat.
Snapchat has a similar feature that runs in Snap Map if you enabled location sharing when you set up your maps. According to your configuration, Snap Map will share your real-time location with an approved list of friends on the Snap Map in a controlled environment. Who can see your location and when they can see your location is entirely up to you to configure, giving you absolute control over managing your privacy.
