But when Harvey hit, the map’s real utility became clear. Two months before the storm, the social media app had debuted Snap Map, a crowdsourced, interactive feature that displays what’s happening on Snapchat around the world.Īt launch, Snap Map seemed mostly like a fun toy, albeit one with potential privacy implications Snap Map can broadcast your location to your friends if you opt in. 1.When Hurricane Harvey wreaked destruction in Houston last August, the country turned not just to cable television, but also to Snapchat. Also, your location settings must be set to public, and you must post a story to "our story" instead of "my story." But, if you're using Snap Map, and want to stop, there are two ways to do it. To begin, in order to even start using Snap Map, you personally have to turn it on. Well, what if you don't want everyone to see what you're doing and where you're doing it? How do you disable Snap Map? Unlike most new features we download these days, Snap Map can be disabled one of two ways. Then, when they leave there they'll delete that from their story."
He continues to explain where part of the inspiration for Snap Map came from, "Interestingly, one of the habits we've seen with our users is that they'll take a snap where they are, put on the geofilter, and post it to their story with a caption like 'hit me up.' They're basically saying come hang out with me here. "This map isn't about where am I, it's about where are my friends and what are they up to? It's not about figuring out how to get to your destination, but about discovering where you want to go," Jack Brody, a product designer at Snap Inc., told Refinery29. Even better - thanks to the newly created Actionmojis, a Bitmoji doing an activity - you can get an idea of what they're doing there. Ever had someone post a cool-looking spot with no way to discover where the picture was taken? Now, thanks to Snap Map, you'll know. This interactive map allows you to see where in the world your friends are.
Released Wednesday, Snapchat's new feature, Snap Map, connects you with your friends in a fresh and unique way. This week Snapchat put itself back in the running to be the coolest social media app.
