How to turn off location sharing in Snapchat on iPhone and Android

To ensure privacy when using Snapchat, you can turn off the Snap Map of the app on your iOS or Android device. Follow these instructions to prevent other individuals from knowing your location on the Snap map or just allowing a few close friends to see your location.

Although location sharing is quite useful, you'll definitely want full control of this feature. With Snap Map you can customize location sharing based on demand. For example, you can disable Snap Map completely or choose location sharing for a few individuals.

Note, Snapchat uses your location for some features like Geofilters, Snap Map and Search. So, if you turn off location positioning, you will not be able to get relevant search results or use Geofilters.
