Snapchat now lets you inform others when you have arrived at your destination | TechCrunch

""Arrival Notifications now work for everyday moments - like letting someone know you're back for the night while traveling, or automatically sharing when you arrive at a weekly class, practice, or meeting - without needing to remember to send a message," the company wrote in a blog post. As with the platform's Home Safe alerts, Arrival Notifications can only be sent to friends you choose to share your location with."

"To use Arrival Notifications, you need to share your location with a trusted friend that you want to keep in the loop. Then, you need to tap on your friendship profile and scroll down to "Arrival Notifications." You can pick a location on the map and give it a personal name. For example, you could set the location for your "run club" or the location for "piano lessons.""

"It's worth noting that location sharing on Snap Map is off by default. No one can see your location or receive an alert unless you choose to share it, Snapchat explained. One-time alerts expire after they're sent or after 24 hours. The new feature comes as Snapchat announced last summer that Snap Map now has more than 400 million monthly active users."

Arrival Notifications let users set one-time or recurring alerts for specific locations beyond home, automatically notifying chosen friends when they arrive. Location sharing on Snap Map is off by default, and notifications can only go to friends selected for location sharing. One-time alerts expire after delivery or after 24 hours. Users enable the feature by sharing their location with a trusted friend, tapping the friendship profile, selecting "Arrival Notifications," picking a map location, and naming it (for example, "run club" or "piano lessons"). Snap Map has over 400 million monthly active users and offers location discovery and public snaps.
