Snapchat has received many updates. For example, we learned that we will soon be able to change the username that has been with us for many years. Now there is another novelty that will allow people to be safer. In fact, we can constantly share our location with someone. Needless to say, Snapchat has a new feature to protect us!
Snapchat has a new feature to protect us!
Sharing our location with someone was something that Snapchat had for a long time. However, this exchange could not always be done in real time.
This can be very useful when we go to a third party that we do not know very well or in any other more suspicious place.
However, it works with Snapchat in the background and even when the smartphone is locked. That is, we always alert someone to where we are without being noticed.
This live location is disabled by default. However, it can be activated during certain periods ranging from fifteen minutes to several hours, as indicated on The Verge’s website.
Users will be able to share their location with multiple friends on the platform if they wish.
This system is developed in partnership with a non-profit program whose main objective is to end sexual crimes in universities. The new feature will be introduced in a future update.
However, there is another great news.
For a long time, users continued to bet on User name that they had originally chosen. Needless to say, it was quite frustrating. That is, whoever had a weirder name but made sense at the time could only delete the account and create a new one, losing the people he knew. Now this great news has arrived for those who do not want to lose contacts, streaks, memories, trophies and much more.
The website The edge reports that Snapchat will finally allow iOS and Android users to change usernames next week. However, not everything will be great. It will only be possible to change the name once a year. Also, we cannot choose a username that has already been chosen in the past. That is, imagine that now you change your name but after a year you want to go back to the old one. You will not be available for.
Interestingly, this feature was already available to some users. However, only in Australia. Now the rest of the world will get it, but as I mentioned, only from February 23rd. To take advantage of this, go to Settings > Username > Change User on Snapchat. This is where we can set the new username and permanently end the old one that only embarrassed us.
