Nuked Snap is temporarily turning off Snapchat’s’heatmap’ feature for Ukraine. The company says that the move is’ a safety precaution’. There will still be a curated public feed of snaps submitted by Ukrainians.
Normally, the snap map displays a color code to show how many people are posting public images in an area. In a wartime scenario where Russia may want to track evacuations or citizen movements, it’s probably for the best that the feature is turned off.
