Snapchat is bringing enhanced location sharing to Family Center, its parental controls hub, the company announced on Thursday.

The Family Center in Snap will add more ways for parents to use it for location tracking and to see who their kids are sharing their locations with.

Parents and caregivers keeping a close eye on their children's activity have a new tool at their disposal, as Snapchat launches its new location alerts for monitored accounts.

Popular social media app Snapchat announced that location sharing is coming to Family Center. Here’s what we know about it.

Snapchat is adding new location tracking abilities to its parental control features. The changes will give parents new visibility into their children’s Snap Map settings and allow them to keep tabs on their whereabouts.

Once known only for its self-destructing pics, in recent years Snapchat has sneakily evolved into a location-oriented social media app. It’s now leaning further than ever into that identity with a new real-time location sharing feature that allows family members to share their live locations with each other.

These new features will be available over the coming weeks. Keep in mind that caregivers must have a Snapchat account to access Family Center. What Else To Know About Snapchat’s
