The innovation is introducing two Layers to the app soon - the Ticketmaster layer and the Infatuation layer.

Among the list of new additions to Snapchat was a major update to SnapMap - Map Layers. Thanks to Snapchat and its partners, you can find your next concert or read a food review straight from the Snap Map - and here’s how.Īt Snapchat’s 3rd annual Snap Partner Summit on Thursday, May 20, the brand unveiled some cool features that’ll be heading to the app soon. Whether you use Snap Map on the reg or not, Snapchat’s new Map Layers are game-changing tools that’ll help you make plans ASAP. Some worry about the 'stalker factor,' particularly for Snapchat's younger users who might not fully grasp the implications of a technology that constantly broadcasts their location.Snapchat is upgrading its Snap Map game, making it possible for you to find nearby restaurants and upcoming concerts, all without leaving the app. But for plenty of people, the new feature is just plain creepy. Obviously, Snapchat sees Snap Map as a fun and convenient way to connect with friends. It’s sort of like Apple’s Find My Friends and Facebook’s Live Location feature-only, you know, on Snapchat. Others can zoom in and find exactly where you are, down to the street address.

Snap Map tracks your current location and places your Bitmoji avatar on a map like a pin. This week, though, Snapchat unveiled a feature that leverages your location data in a whole new way, and it’s got a lot of people freaked out. Sure, the app uses your whereabouts to help marketers sell you stuff, but what social media behemoth doesn't? What, you thought everyone saw that “Greetings from the Brooklyn Bridge” filter? Until recently, Snapchat didn’t do much with your location data beyond serving up geofilters and pushing location-specific stories. Snapchat has always known exactly where you are.
