Snapchat’s new location sharing features make it easy to keep track of what your children are up to

Snapchat–the go-to social media platform for more than 750 million people worldwide–is getting several new features allowing parents to request their children to share their real-time location. As part of Family Center, the company also introduced another feature enabling parents to see when their teen children have arrived at a particular location, like home or gym.

According to the company, almost half of Snapchat users make use of the “Snap Map” to share their location with friends and family. Snapchat is also bringing some new Snap Map location sharing features to the Family Center which will make it easy for families to stay connected even on the go.
