The characters you see on the screen to the left are all friends of the Snapchat user who se account we are using to preview the Snap Map. All of these f riends have the Snap Map enabled. They are represented by a Bitmoji 16 they designed for themselves. This is why it is so important that our children only communicate with close friends and family that they know and trust in real life on Snapchat . Within the Snapchat Settings, users can turn off the ability for others to see their location by enabling something called Ghost Mode or only allowing their location to be viewed by Ghost Mode is a full privacy mode that makes a user’s presence on the Snap Map invisible to other users. This disallows other users from viewing their location, including users on their friend list. The Snap Map is often used by SST Threat Analysts and law enforcement to find missing students by asking their peers to share their Snap Map with us. certain friends (i.e., their best friend) and/or parents/caregivers or other trusted adults.
