It emphasizes awareness and caution while using the app to protect personal safety.

1. NEW SNAP MAP
HOW TO STAY SAFE ON SNAPCHAT

2. BY NOW, I’M SURE YOU HAVE ALL OPENED THE NEW
MAPS FEATURE!
Let’s just make sure we understand what other snapchat users can
see and not see!

6. It should look
like this!
DON’T FORGET!
If you post on
“Our Story”,
your friends &
Public users will
see that
location. Even if
you were in
“Ghost Mode”
You can also
select specific
friends to see
where you are.

7. If you choose “My
Friends”, Or
“Select Friends”,
those friends will
know your EXACT
location every
time you open the
app.
If you are at
home, friends will
be able to
estimate your
EXACT Location
EVERY time you
just open the app.

9. Things to Consider
Because Snap Map shows exactly where you are every
time you open the app, there are a number of dangerous
scenarios that could take place without a user even
posting a Snap publicly.

10. • What if you’re at home alone, at night, and open the app to
view Snaps posted by friends?
• What if you’re walking by yourself and get a ping that a friend
sent you a Snap message, so you read it?
• What if you’re traveling and want to take a pic with a location-
specific filter to post later on another platform?
In all of these vulnerable situations, if you have Snap Map enabled, your location is
immediately broadcast to some, or all of the people in your Snapchat friends list.
