"Users can now turn on Arrival Notifications to alert their contacts when they've reached their intended destination - similar to the location alerts on Apple's Find My, but designed for those addicted to their Snap Map. More than 400 million users visit the Snap Map every month, according to the platform. The arrival alerts can be set for single, 24-hour periods or on a recurring basis for repeated trips beyond their home,"
"and your location will only be sent to friends you choose to share your location with, the company explains. Location sharing on the public Snap Map is still turned off by default. To share Arrival Notifications, users can tap on their friend's profile, hit "view friendship," and turn on "Arrival Notifications." Users can customize the precise location and names for alerts."
"Snapchat added location alerts for parents monitoring teen users in 2024. When enabled, the app alerts parents when their child's location has moved on the Snap Map and parents can request their child's location at any time. The platform also added new parental control features in January, following the company's settlement in a social media addiction lawsuit that also named competitors TikTok, Google, and Meta."
Snapchat launched Arrival Notifications to alert selected friends when a user reaches an intended destination, similar to Apple's Find My but tied to Snap Map activity. The alerts can be set for a single trip, for 24-hour periods, or on a recurring basis for repeated journeys. Location sharing for Arrival Notifications is limited to friends the user has chosen, while public Snap Map sharing remains off by default. Users can enable Arrival Notifications through a friend's profile, customize the precise location and names for alerts, and control who receives updates. Snapchat also offers parental location alerts and added parental controls following a recent legal settlement.
