Snapchat’s been enjoying a streak of big updates lately, announcing the introduction of ads to Snapchat stories, creating a Snapchat Tinder, and the list goes on. The latest addition is undoubtedly more safety-oriented: yesterday, Snapchat announced it was bringing live location sharing to the platform.
Sharing your location a single time for a friend can make it easier to find each other and meet up, and Snapchat’s already had that for a few years.
But being able to continuously share your location in real time means a second pair of eyes on you if you’re at a strange party late at night, or in any risky situation away from home. It also works with Snapchat in the background and your phone locked, which means someone else may be able to take action if you’re not home at an agreed-upon time, even if you’re unable to access your phone.
