How to turn off location on snapchat – keep off snapchat map in 6 steps

This article is about how to turn off location on Snapchat and keep off Snapchat map. While sometimes it’s fine for everyone to know where you are, there are times when you want more privacy.

Snapchat’s ghost mode will hide your location on the map, so contacts won’t be able to see where you are.

You can also turn off location tracking from your iPhone or Android device settings, where you can cancel the license.

To turn off location tracking on Snapchat, you need to turn on “mood”.

In the location settings of the Snapchat app, you can set the mood so that no one can see where you are. This will prevent you from appearing on the Snapchat map, hiding your location from your friends and followers.

Additionally, you can disable these apps completely by going to your iPhone or Android settings. There you can turn off the location service for Snapchat, which will remove all app settings.
