Sorry if this isn't the right place for this.... just thought I'd let everyone know about Snapchat's new update.

Todays Snapchat update resulted in a map being implimented where your location is shared every single time you send anyone a snap. This means that anyone on your friends list can track your location, and ultimately find out where you live.

If you have internet friendson your Snapchat you can see why this may be an issue for some of you.. Luckily you can disable this.

On the camera, zoom out all the way then zoom out again and the map will come up. Tap the settings icon in the top right, and then activate "Ghost mode". This'll make it so your location is hidden from this "feature"
