New Snapchat feature sparks safety concerns

Published: Updated:

NAPLES, Fla. A new Snapchat feature launched this week may be revealing too much personal information.

The feature, called Snap Map, puts users on a map for friends to find with the intent to connect people in the digital world with the real world.

However, even the most social media savvy people are concerned.

“I have people that have added me on a whim — like out somewhere — and I don’t even know them,” said resident Sarah Wingo.

There is a feature on the map called Ghost Mode to hide users’ location.

Security experts recommended users go Ghost Mode, so predators can’t build a profile.
