But if you’ve just got your standard location on Snapchat, you won’t be able to tell if someone has viewed your location.
However, as of mid-2020, Snapchat removed the status feature and you can no longer access it.
If you open Snap Map now, you will no longer see the status icon at the bottom of the page.
This means that there is no way that someone will be notified if you look at their current snapshot location.
With that said, the removal of the status feature means you can see the location of anyone they don’t know.
