![]() Unfortunately, there’s no way to completely disable SnapMap once it’s been turned on, at the time of this writing. In keeping with Snapchat’s main feature, your location vanishes off of SnapMap after a few hours. You can also configure it to “Ghost Mode,” which hides your location during certain times or unless you deactivate it, although if you submit a snap to the Our Story feed on the app, it will be tied to a general location. It also is only updated when you have Snapchat open and running on your phone. On the app, your location is only visible to people you’ve friended, although users can also limit specific snaps to specific people, and can also configure a specific list to exclude certain friends or limit the data to specific friends. The goal is to allow people to view events from multiple points of view as people collect photos, videos, and audio clips. On the web, this is presented as a clickable “heat map” that, when you tap on a “warm” area, brings up a snap that’s been contributed by a site’s user for that specific place at that specific time. SnapMap uses GPS and other location data to place “snaps” made by its users in certain locations and to tell friends where their friends list on the app is located when they have Snapchat open on their phones.
