Snap Inc., owner of the popular social media app Snapchat, recently released a new feature that has some privacy advocates concerned.

Snap Maps was rolled out to several countries, including Canada, on Friday, and allows users to display their location on a map while using the app. If you choose to use this feature, Snapchat will track your location and share it with select friends, by placing your avatar in a specific location on the map. However, on its lowest privacy settings, this feature is designed to broadcast your location to everyone on your friends list whenever you open the app.

While there is the option to opt out of this feature, otherwise known as "Ghost Mode," critics have maintained in the days since it was released that Snap Map could be used to stalk or bully others.

The child safety group Childnet International released a statement on how to safely use and enjoy Snap Maps:

"It is important to be careful about who you share your location with, as it can allow people to build up a picture of where you live, go to school and spend your time."

The group encourages people not to share their location, especially with strangers, because Snap Map shares where you are to "a precise pinpoint on a map."

Snapchat isn't the only social media firm to be criticized for its location tracking practices. As reported by the Guardian, Twitter allows people to add their location to tweets, while Facebook's check-ins and Messenger's "share location" function also allow people to track their contacts.

Furthermore, the world's most popular mobile mapping app, Google Maps, has also been called out for being less than forthcoming about how active its location tracking service really is.

According to a report by PC Mag, Google Timeline, introduced by Google in 2015, allows Google Maps to keep track of every step you take, as long as your phone's location services are turned on.

But for those individuals that just received Snapchat's new update, it is possible to modify the service or entirely turn it off.

Here's how.

1. Navigate to your settings, which you can access from the new map.

2. Scroll down to "Who Can..." => See My Location. (If you navigated from the map, you'll automatically be taken here).

3. Choose who can see your location, or swipe "Ghost Mode" on to disable sharing your location to anyone.

Even police services are advising users to turn on Snapchat's Ghost Mode.

As location tracking becomes more prevalent, there's been increasing debate about the role of the law in protecting consumers' privacy rights. According to a 2013 issue of the Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy, the onus is on the user to inform themselves about the information they relinquish when they use these platforms, including location data.

"Additionally, while the Supreme Court may not endorse GPS-tracking, Internet users may voluntarily opt-in to having their location tracked, whether that occurs through check-ins or the cookies placed on computers or smartphones," reads the journal.

The journal uses a case study to determine that "social networking users cannot expect to maintain a reasonable expectation of privacy when they sign away their rights in privacy policies or post information for public consumption through their friends or any Internet viewers."

For its part, Snapchat's support page points out that the Snap Map feature is only updated when the app is being used - "so you don't have to worry about your location being updated in the background or anything."

But fair warning: that means that even if you're just opening the app and not posting anything, your location will still be updated.

Once you're happy with your settings, you can freely browse events happening around the world. And your posts won't be shared publicly unless you specifically add it to "Our Story."

Early indications show many curated events on the new map, and users seem willing to share what they're up to with the Snapchat community. Will you be joining them?

In an effort to make users happier with the newly redesigned Snapchat the company has been trying to make new updates to the app. Some users have struggled to adjust to the app, which has even impacted Snap financially.

Users have struggled to find their friends in the app, as well as the stories and content they actually want to see. They even started a petition to ask the company to change the app back to how it was before the redesign.

Snapchat users now have a "subscriptions" portion in their app. When users open up the Snapchat app and either swipe right or tap the "Discover" button in the bottom right corner, they open up Discover.

This is where a user's friends are listed; it's also where their subscriptions and the "for you" section is located for users. Those subscriptions are stories either from specific people or content creators on the app that users have more or less followed on Snapchat.

People and creators that users subscribe to appear under friends but above the "for you" portion of Discover for users.

How to subscribe on Snapchat

Users who want to subscribe to a creator or a friend on Snapchat so that those stories are easier to access should first open Discover. Once the user finds the story they want to subscribe to, they simply need to tap and hold down the story to open further information about it. There the option to subscribe will appear. Those stories are sorted based on what was updated most recently, according to Snapchat.

How to unsubscribe on Snapchat

The process of unsubscribing is very similar. Users should tap and hold the story they want to unsubscribe from and then hit the "subscribed" icon, according to the Snapchat site. Once a user is successfully unsubscribed the option will change back to "subscribe." Users can also select "see less like this.

To add friends, simply tap on the friend icon, which is located in the top right-hand corner on My Friends page.

The score represents the amount of Snaps you have sent and received.

If you want to take a photo Snap, simply tap the circle button on the bottom of the screen. If you want to record a video, hold the circle button.

Then tap 'Manage' under 'Additional Services' and turn filters on. Once filters are turned on, return to your photo and swipe right to preview all of the filters. In addition to color filters you can also include the current temperature, time and how fast you're moving.

To save a conversation, you can tap the screen to take a screenshot. You can easily clear conversations by going to Snapchat settings and tap on clear conversations. You can even chat face-to-face or share live video by a long press.

Your Snapchat stories give your friends short but sweet glimpses of what you've done over the past 24 hours. Unlike sending snaps to specific friends, stories are posted to your My Story section, which show up in the stories feed of other users depending on your settings.

For brands, celebrities and public figures with large followings, enabling everyone to be able to view their stories helps them stay connected with their followers. You, however, may just want to your friends (the people you added) to be able to see your stories. You also have the option to build a custom list of users to be able to view your stories.

Again, this can all be done from the settings tab. Tap the ghost icon > gear icon, scroll down to the Who Can... section and tap View My Story. From there, you can select Everyone, My Friends or Custom to build your custom list.
