As part of the new feature, there is a ‘Ghost Mode’ which enables you to hide your location on Snap Maps.
To turn this on, please follow these instructions:
Click On – SnapMaps – Settings (Top Right) – Click on – ‘Ghost Mode’

Musical.ly & Live.ly
Recently, Channel 4 News investigated concerns over paedophiles targeting children using these two Apps.
Musical.ly is a popular music App where ‘musers’ can sing along to popular songs and upload them to the site and individuals can comment and share the videos.
Live.ly is made by the same company and is a live streaming App where you can broadcast and communicate with others.
The report found that girls as young as 9 years old were being bombarded with requests to
remove their clothing and change into sexy outfits.
There was a number of very sexually explicit comments made to other girls using the Apps and the
journalist who investigated found no moderation on the site.
It is important that you talk to your child about using these Apps.
Most importantly, if they get a question or request that makes them feel uncomfortable, they should speak to a responsible adult immediately.
Musical.ly also has some privacy controls which can be accessed via the settings option.
