I like the idea, but I don’t want my bitmoji to always stay in one place 24/7 just because I don’t get out of the house much.
But again look at it this way…
There’s a whole vast world to explore and my fellow species to meet, ANNND you can show your friends that you’re sipping a Starbucks cappuccino for breakfast and then dining lavishly by candlelight at a nearby expensive Italian restaurant in five stars.
Now, if you have a lot of followers or even if you have a friend or two, or your mom, chances are they know where you’re going and follow you wherever you go.
Do you really want it?
No, of course not.
Nobody wants their friends (or their mother) to know their location in real time. (We have the find my iphone function for that). So if you want to know how to turn off Snapchat Snap Maps and go into “Ghost Mode,” here’s how to do it.
How to disable Snapchat Snap Maps feature: 4 ways
1. Turn on ghost mode if you’re just starting out.
If you have not yet updated to the latest version of Snapchat (version 10.11.0.0) and you’re about to, so
Paso 1: Immediately after updating to the latest version of Snapchat (version 10.11.0.0) which includes the Map adjustment functionall you have to do is pinch the screen generously to access the Snap Map.
Paso 2: Since this is your first time using Snap Map, you will be prompted to choose your preferences. Which includes, if you haven’t already given Snapchat access to your location data, you’ll be prompted to do so before proceeding.
Paso 3: Well! so hit The next until you see the option for who can see your location on the Snap map. Great, now you just have to select Just me (ghost mode) and then hit The next and then finally final.
Note
If you don’t want everyone to share your location with all your friends, but just want to cherish the moments with your best friends or parents who know your location, you can do so by choosing select friends.
This allows you to choose who exactly you want to see your location. Don’t worry if you decide to activate Ghost Mode after this, your selected favorites list will remain active for later.
2. Activate Ghost Mode on your Snap Map.
If you already chose to share your location on the initial options page right after the update (Method 1) but you don’t want more, then ..
Paso 1: Just pinch the camera screen to access your Snap Map and from there you will see the Settings (gear icon) in the upper right corner? Yes, hit it and activate it. ghost mode so your friends can’t see your location.
Once this is done, your last known location on the Snap Map will be removed and will prevent it from being displayed again.
Note
Once again, you have the option to choose who you want to see your location. just disable ghost mode and then choose select friends to choose exactly which of your friends can see where you are. Don’t worry, this list of favorites will remain even if you turn on Ghost Mode, meaning you won’t have to start over afterward. 🙂
3. Turn on Ghost mode in Snapchat settings.
The last way you can change your Snap Map preferences is by going to the settings within your Snapchat.
Paso 1: Just hit the ghost icon you see in the top left corner (or your custom Bitmoji), then tap Settings (gear icon) in the upper right corner of the information page.
Paso 2: Dessert! From there you can scroll to see my location and select that. Now on the next page just activate ghost mode power on and go! 🙂
Note
Once again, you have the option to disable ghost mode and individually choose who you want to see your exact location. Don’t worry, your selected favorites list won’t disappear once Ghost Mode is re-enabled and will remain until the next time you choose to do so with it.
4. If you want to do it all. Then turn off location access. Period.
If you don’t want Snapchat to have access to your location, you can simply turn it off.
This has some downsides and could affect your entire elusive Snapchat experience.
Now, if you have chosen to completely disable your Snapchat access to your location, you will not be able to use geofilters or discover stories around you and much other content.
Also, you will not be able to see your Snap Map at all. (Which if you’re just trying to disable your Snap Map, the above methods are best.)
Now, if that’s what you want, then by all means read on. 🙂
If you have an iPhone
Paso 1: go to yours Settings later Snapchat.
Paso 2: Then select Position and change it from While using the app for Never.
If you have an Android
