Hi everyone,

Now I know most people don't always like reading these PSA type of things but I think this is something that needs to be considered.  I got this information from someone who uses Snapchat and there has been an update where Snapchat can share your location with your friends at any time and place, down to the exact street and house or other building.  How do you do this?  By pinching the screen when at the camera.

This can be extremely dangerous because a predator that has added you can use this feature to find you at your exact location.  Your home, your school, your job, anywhere you used Snapchat.  The best way to protect yourself is to go in your settings and select "Ghost Mode" to hide your location.

This doesn't mean you need to delete the app, just be smarter about when you share where you are and if your friends need to find you, haven them call or text.

Please be careful and stay safe!
