Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the location option not showing in Snapchat?

For the location option and Snap map to work, Snapchat needs permission to access your location. Check if the Snapchat app on your device has location permission or not, and if the location permission is turned off on your phone, please turn it on for Snapchat and the location option will work.

Why am I not getting location filter on Snapchat?

The location filter option might not show up on Snapchat if the location permission is not enabled on your phone for Snapchat. Go to the app settings of Snapchat and check if the location permission is enabled or not. If it isn't enabled, enable the location permission, and the location filter will be re-enabled on Snapchat.

How long does it take Snapchat to approve a location?

Snapchat might take usually 1 business day to approve a business location. But Snapchat might not approve all the business locations as the verification process would reject many locations. If approved, the location will be visible to all Snapchat users, and if it isn't approved, you'd get an explanation on why it wasn't approved.

Can someone track my location with Snapchat?

On Snapchat, only the friends you've chosen to share your location can see where you're currently at on the Snap map.
