How to Track the Location of Someone’s Snapchat Account?

Do you want to track your friend’s location on Snapchat (sneaky, aren’t you)? The easiest way to do that is through the Snap Map.

Do this to track the location of someone’s Snapchat account:

Open Snapchat
Go to your profile page
Tap on the Snap Map
Tap on the “Friends” button
Select “Search“
Look for your friend on the Snap Map

Read below for a detailed guide on how to do this, including nice screenshots to help you creep (hehe) on your friend.

Summary: In this article, I explain how to track a friend’s location on Snapchat using the Snap Map feature. 

I provide step-by-step instructions for accessing the Snap Map and searching for a friend’s location. I also include screenshots to help guide readers through the process. 

Finally, I discuss what to do if a friend’s location is not showing up on the Snap Map or if it is showing the wrong location.

1. Tap on your Profile icon

2. Select the Snap Map

Once you get to your profile page on Snapchat, find the Snap Map by scrolling down and then tap on “Enter” to open it (this is explained in the image above).

3. Select “Friends“

Did you open the Snap Map? Then you may be able to find your friend right away on this map. But if you don’t, go to the “Friends” option in the bottom-right corner and select it.

4. Select “Search“

Once you tap on “Friends“, a new menu will open up, showing you a list of all your Snapchat friends that you can locate on the Snap Map.

Select “Search” if your friend doesn’t appear on the Snap Map.

5. Search for your friend

Once you’re on this page, use the search bar at the top to find your friend (shown and highlighted in red in the image above). This will help you locate them on the Snap Map in an instant.

You can’t find your friend on the Snap Map, or it’s showing the wrong location? Check out this article I wrote on the subject.
