Snapchat’s had a bit of a tough time of it lately. On top of the fact that Instagram Stories have pretty much made the app obsolete for anything but sending nudes, the dog filter has gotten a bit stale and people are searching for the next big things to make their selfies POP.<\/p>\n
Well, Snapchat looks like they have a game changer with their latest update, Snap Map, which lets your friends see exactly what you’re doing – and where you are as well.<\/p>\n
The premise behind Snap Map is that you and your friends are reduced to quirky Bitmoji versions of yourself and all show up on a great big map, where zooming in on each individual character reveals what they’ve been snapping about.<\/p>\n
Areas that have had a whole heap of snaps taken in\u00a0them will appear redder and “hotter”, so you know where to hone in on if it looks like your friends are having fun without you.<\/p>\n
Obviously, the whole idea has sparked a bit of outrage over privacy issues, namely, is everyone gonna be able to see my sinful activities from the comfort of their own homes?<\/p>\n
Well, the company has made it very clear that people will only see your location if you’re logged in and the app is open. If it’s been closed for a while then your Bitmoji will disappear from the map until your ready to\u00a0get back to it. The feature is also opt-in, meaning no-one will be able to see any mischief you get up to unless you want them to.<\/p>\n
Have a gander at the video below and revel at just how perfect Snapchat is making the world, bless.<\/p>\n
