Snapchat's new arrival notifications ensure you're 'home safe' after a night out

Say goodbye to constant check-ins after a night out with friends. Snapchat's new 'Arrival Notifications' feature lets your loved ones know when you've safely returned home.

How it works

Share your location with a trusted friend, then select a location on the map and give it a name. Choose to send a one-time or recurring alert, and Snapchat will notify your friend when you arrive.

Privacy and safety

'Arrival Notifications' prioritizes your privacy and safety. Only friends you've shared your location with can receive these alerts, and location sharing is off by default. One-time notifications expire after 24 hours.

Expanding on 'home safe'

Snapchat's 'Home Safe' feature, used by over 1 million people, now has a companion. 'Arrival Notifications' offers the same reassurance for destinations beyond home, like weekly classes or concerts.

Staying connected with snap map

Snapchat's Snap Map, used by over 400 million monthly users, is now even more useful. 'Arrival Notifications' provides an additional way for friends and family to stay updated on your whereabouts.
