Does Snap Location Turn Off When Phone Dies: Ever since the live location feature was introduced to the world by Google, people have been conflicted about its helpfulness. Most people claimed that it helped them find their friends or family members in time of need.
However, a group of people also complained that this feature is an invasion of privacy since they can’t go anywhere without their family knowing.
While we are of the opinion that this feature is essential and has helped many people in times of mortal danger, to each their own, right? Either way, the former majority won out, and the live location feature was adopted on most social media platforms like Snapchat and WhatsApp.
However, that’s not all. This feature is used in many other instances, like the Emergency SOS feature on most smartphones today.
You can make a quick call to the nearest law enforcement office if you’re in danger by tapping on the volume buttons together or some other practiced gesture.
What you might not know about this feature is that it uses your live location, which is then sent to the office. That’s how the officers can track you. Now, don’t you think this feature is more important than your mother finding out you skipped school one day?
Today we’ll talk about why your bitmoji disappears from the Snap Map. Does it happen because of Snapchat inactivity? Or does your phone battery dying have something to do with it? Read till the end to find out!
Does Bitmoji Disappear on Snapchat Maps When Your Phone Dies?
There are several reasons why someone’s bitmoji disappears from the Snap Map. They might’ve modified their privacy settings or been inactive on Snapchat for more than eight hours. They also could’ve just deleted or deactivated their Snapchat account.
Don’t worry; there are numerous methods you can apply to find out which of these is true in your case.
One important thing to remember is that bitmoji doesn’t disappear from the Snap Map when their phone dies. There is no link between your phone’s battery and your location on Snapchat.
If your phone dies for eight hours and you don’t log in to Snapchat from another device in the meanwhile, then your bitmoji will disappear from Snap Map. This still has nothing to do with your phone’s battery and everything to do with your Snapchat inactivity.
However, the moment your log off from Snapchat, Google stops pinging your live location on Snapchat. So, for the next eight hours, your location on the Snap Map is the last location you were in before you closed Snapchat.
You could’ve traveled halfway around the world, but it’ll only appear on the Snap Map after you use Snapchat.
How to check your Snap Map on Snapchat
Before we move on, let’s see how you can check your Snap Map.
Step 1: Launch Snapchat on your smartphone and log in to your account.
Step 2: The first screen you’ll see is the Snapchat camera. At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see five icons. Tap on the hot air balloon icon at the bottom left corner of the page to go to the Snap Map.
Step 3: At the lower half of the map, you’ll see three options: My Bitmoji, Places, and Friends. Tap on the third option to see your friends on Snapchat.
However, you most probably won’t be able to see all your friends on the Snap Map. As we mentioned, many factors decide the visibility of a user on the Snap Map. That’s what we’ll talk about in the next section.
How to modify your Snap Map visibility
