When Snap Maps launched last June (https://mashable.com/2017/06/21/snapchat-snap-maps-ghost-mode-update/), some privacy concerns were raised. But the company had the right idea, turning off sharing with all for everyone by default.

This update will clearly make it easier to share location quickly. You'll appear on the user's Snap Maps, and they in return will appear on yours. Read more... (https://mashable.com/2018/05/25/snapchat-location-maps/)
