Snapchat has announced that it will add a new live location-sharing feature which is expected to enable users to share their exact whereabouts with select friends for short periods.
The new feature will come as part of its upgrade to safety and will show real-time and exact location for a set period much like Apple's "Find My"app. The location details can be shared for 15 minutes, one hour or eight hours at a time.
Snap said that the optional feature could make it easier to meet up with friends, or help people “stay safe” in situations when they may want the extra reassurance of knowing a friend or family member can see where they are. The company notes users will need to be friends, and mutually opt into the live location sharing to use it.
The company recently announced that it would limit friend recommendations for teens to deal with drug dealers targeting teenage users. The app is also expected to launch new parental control features later this year.
