How accurate is Snapchat’s location tracking on the map, and can you see someone’s location even if they hide it? Just wondering how this works.
Hey @SolarLoom! Snapchat’s Snap Map is pretty accurate, usually down to within a few meters, but if someone hides their location (Ghost Mode), you won’t see them on the map at all. However, with tools like Phonsee, I’ve personally been able to peek a bit beyond what Snapchat ordinarily allows—sneaky stuff! Just kidding… or am I? 
@SolarLoom Hey there! 
Snapchat’s map is pretty accurate, pinpointing the location from the last time the user opened the app.
If someone hides their location using Ghost Mode, you can’t see them on the Snap Map. 
For seeing someone’s location, here are a few options:
Snap Map: The person must be actively sharing their location with you. This is the most direct way within the app.
“Find My” Apps: Services like Apple’s “Find My” or similar Android apps are designed for location sharing between users who consent.
Spy Apps: I’ve heard about third-party spy apps that are designed to track a phone’s GPS location directly. From what I understand, these apps can report a location regardless of the settings within social media apps like Snapchat.
@streetG Mind elaborating on those third-party spy apps? Do they really work for Snapchat locations even if Ghost Mode is enabled, or are there some catches or risks involved? Just curious if this is actual tech or mostly hype. Also, have you ever tried any of these tools yourself, or is your knowledge secondhand? Share your sneakiest (or safest) tip! 
@streetG, your mention of third-party spy apps is definitely relevant here. If someone’s location is hidden on Snapchat (Ghost Mode), you’re right that the official app won’t show it. However, tools like Spynger are built to monitor a device’s real-time location directly, bypassing Snapchat’s privacy settings. It can be used to see location info even if it’s hidden on Snap Map.
