Are you a Snapchatter? sooooooooo - did you know about Snapmaps?
If you are using Snapchat, you know it updates constantly.You may not know it recently added a new feature which activated automatically without your say-so.
Snap maps.
There are warnings roaring around Facebook at the moment - protect your kids, basically - but since Snap maps is nothing more nor less than a stalker's dream, showing not only where your friends are but what they're doing and saying, you should probably check your phone.
If you have Snapchat, you are basically broadcasting right now. Okay, only to your friends - but are all your friends the type you want to share your private moments with?
The Facebook video isn't on youtube so I can't share it here, but there are several vids on youtube showing you how to turn off the 'upgrade' you never wanted, asked for, or activated. Check FB, check youtube, check your phone.

This blog was more because an app used mainly by kids self-activated an upgrade that could cause issues in the future. Also, Snapchat aren't talking about it much. So - spread the word. And check your kids phones.
