Snapchat is starting a new way for users to tell their friends and family that they are called “Home Safe”, called “Home Safe”, the social network declared on Thursday.
To use the convenience, you have to set your bitmosy on the snap map and set your home space and then “my house.” When you get out and want to inform a friend when you go home, open the conversation, tap on the map icon, and then the home safe button.
After reaching home, your friend will receive an automatic alert in your chat conversation.
Snapchat notes that alert can only be sent to friends you already share your place. Also, since sharing the location on the snap map is closed by default, no one can see your location or unless you choose to share it, no house can receive a safe warning.
Snapchat wrote in a blog post, “Whether you are coming back from the first date, a crowded concert, or a weekend gateway, home safe can provide peace to a close friend or family member, which you have given it safely.”
This new feature comes two months after Snapchat Announced that snap map There are now more than 400 million monthly active users.
Snap Map, which was launched in 2017, was originally a way for users to see their friends’ places and browse public snaps from all over the world. Over time, the facility has developed and now provides ways for users Search for local hotspots And find things to do.
