Live Location is a feature on Snapchat that allows users to share their real-time location with trusted friends and family. It is designed to be used as a "buddy system" to keep tabs on each others whereabouts for safety. To enable Live Location sharing, users can go to a friends profile in the Snapchat app and choose how long they want to share their location for, ranging from 15 minutes to 8 hours. The feature is disabled by default and must be enabled on a friend-by-friend basis. Users can also pause location sharing without sending a notification to the other person. The Live Location feature is not meant to be enabled on a 24/7 basis, and users are encouraged to only use it with trusted friends and family. Snapchat has implemented safeguards to prevent stalking and harassment, such as limiting the duration of location sharing and allowing users to choose who they share their location with.
