Snapchat has a now much more easily accessibe feature that lets you track other Snapchat users on a map. You can use the Snap Map to view their snaps, as well as to see featured snaps on sporting events, breaking news and more.
Below we explain how to use Snap Map. If, however, you are concerned about security or stalkers we also explain how to disable Snap Map.
1. Using Snap Map is easy. Just launch the map by tapping the location icon at the bottom left of the screen. If you don’t see this icon, the old method required you to use two fingers to perform a pinch gesture on the screen.
2. The Snap Map should launch automatically, but the first time you use it you’ll be prompted to specify who is able to view your location. Choose Only Me, My Friends or Select Friends, then click Next.
3. Snapchat will inform you that to add a Snap to the map you just need to add it to ‘Our Story’ rather than ‘My Story’. Click Finish to get started.
4. You’ll see a map of your location, and any friends or featured Snaps nearby are shown in roundels. Just click their avatar or the roundel to view them.
5. You can also click on the Search icon at the top to find specific Featured Stories.
6. To later change your location sharing privacy options click the Settings cog at the top of the page. You’ll see the same options here as you did during setup, so enable Ghost mode or choose My Friends or Select Friends.
7. To add a Snap to the map, tap the usual shutter button to launch the usual Snapchat camera. You can add a filter if you like, then tap the Shutter button to take the photo.
8. To add your snap to the map tap the send button, then select Our Story.
