Snapchat wants to look like Foursquare with its latest feature
Are you still using Snapchat? And do you do it to take advantage of some function beyond its fun skins? Because if so, you might be interested to know that they are working on a new geolocation function And no, I'm not referring to the Snap Map to let you see one place or another . Rather, it is a function to locate you on the map and, in addition, show intention to meet, have a date, play video games or create any type of plan.Of course, at the moment the function is in the testing phase.
In fact, only a small percentage of Australian users can make use of this feature in true Foursquare style. You know, that service where you recorded each visit to a place and gave your opinion Of course, all of it in a much more millennial way, with the signature of Snapchat and also Bitmoji's drawings.
This way, you can choose any expression or activity of your Bitmoji avatar and plant it on the map. Of course, you will only be visible to those contacts with whom you proactively share your location With this you can meet up somewhere, show if you are interested in meeting, or if you simply you are passing through without the need or possibility of seeing someone there.
Along with this function comes the feature Passport or Pasaporte In this case it consists of a complete history of places and people with whom you have found A private record that only you can see to review where you met who. Function closely related to the possibility of recording your steps by places.
But what if you really want to blend in on the map? Well, either because you are accompanied or you simply do not want to share your location, you can make use of the Ghost mode Another feature added along with this new Foursquare-style function but that premium for privacy and secrecy when you want to go unnoticed or unnoticed.
With this Snapchat continues looking for new formulas with which to win back the public. However, it seems that outside the United States it still has a very difficult time, Instagram Stories being its most valuable original function although stolen by Instagram.
We will have to see if the tests with this function go well and, finally, Snapchat takes it to the whole world. Something for which at the moment there would be no official confirmation or date May not even reach other users if the tests are not satisfactory.
