位置跟踪(Location-tracking)似乎发生在您使用的几乎每个应用程序中。感觉有人可能正在看着你在哪里或你要去哪里，这可能会引起焦虑。您可能只是想要一种没有人知道您实际在哪里的安心。
尤其是Snapchat(Snapchat)上的定位服务用于向您的Snapchat朋友显示您的大致位置。这样你就可以看到你周围的人，你的朋友在做什么，看看你有多少朋友。
但是， Snapchat(Snapchat)上有一项称为“幽灵模式”的功能，可让您将自己从该地图中删除。
什么是 Snapchat 上的幽灵模式以及如何使用它(What Is Ghost Mode on Snapchat and How to Use It)
当您将帐户设置为幽灵模式(Ghost Mode)时，Snapchat将不再与您的朋友分享您的位置，只与您自己分享。不过，为了理解这一点，这里有更多关于Snapchat位置共享如何工作的信息。
当您打开Snapchat应用程序并为您的朋友开启位置共享时，它会更新您的 Bitmoji 并将您的Bitmoji放置在Snap 地图(Snap Map)上以显示您的位置。除非您打开 Snapchat，否则它不会更新您的位置。
您可以更改谁可以看到您的共享位置，这就是Snapchat上的(Snapchat)幽灵模式(Ghost Mode)的用武之地。您可以选择与所有朋友共享您的位置（仅在您将他们添加回来之后，反之亦然），您的特定朋友选择与您或仅您共享您的位置，即幽灵模式(Ghost Mode)。
在幽灵模式下(Ghost Mode)，人们将无法在 Snap Maps 上看到您，Snap Maps是(Snap Maps)Snapchat应用程序中的全球地图。您的位置也将不再更新。但是，人们仍然可以请求查看您的位置，但您必须先接受此请求才能发送您的位置。
如果您不想出现在Snap Maps上但仍希望一些朋友看到您的位置，则在设置位置共享时选择“选择朋友(Select Friends)”选项可能是更好的选择。如果您根本不想让任何人看到您，那么您可以打开幽灵模式(Ghost Mode)。这是这样做的。
如何在 Snapchat 上打开幽灵模式(How to Turn On Ghost Mode on Snapchat)
打开Snapchat后，请按照以下步骤打开幽灵模式(Ghost Mode)：
- 点击您的个人资料图片。
- 点击右上角的设置图标，它看起来像一个齿轮。
- 向下滚动到Who Can…，然后点击查看我的位置(See My Location)。
- 在顶部，您会看到Ghost Mode的选项。打开它，您将可以选择为Ghost Mode设置计时器。您可以选择将其打开 3 小时、24 小时，或者直到您自己将其关闭。
- 要关闭幽灵模式(Ghost Mode)，请点击相同的开关。
或者，您也可以转到应用程序的“快照地图(Snap Map)”部分，点击右上角的齿轮图标，您将进入相同的位置共享设置屏幕。
在此屏幕上，您还可以选择不让某些朋友看到您的位置，或者选择可以看到而其他人不能看到的朋友。
在位置请求(Location Requests)下，您还可以选择是否允许您的朋友请求您的位置。如果关闭此功能，则没有人可以向您发送位置共享请求。
如何更改 Snapchat 的位置访问权限(How to Change Location Access for Snapchat)
如果您根本不希望Snapchat访问您的位置，您可以在您的智能手机设置中进行一些更改来执行此操作。以下是如何在 iOS 上更改这些设置。
- 前往设置。
- 向下滚动(Scroll)到您的应用并选择Snapchat。
- 点击位置(Location)。
- 在允许位置访问下点击从不(Never)。
这将不允许Snapchat看到您的位置，并且本质上会将您置于幽灵模式(Ghost Mode)，因为其他人也无法看到您的位置。还有另一个有用的选项，即精确位置(Precise Location)设置。
如果您启用此功能，Snapchat将能够准确确定您的位置，并将其显示给Snap Map上的其他人。如果您仍想在地图上显示，但不希望人们知道您的确切位置，关闭此功能即可。它会在您所在区域的快照地图(Snap Maps)上显示您，但不会显示您的确切下落。
在 Snapchat 上使用幽灵模式(Using Ghost Mode on Snapchat)
如果您对让所有人都能看到您的位置感到不舒服，幽灵模式(Ghost Mode)会非常有用。由于您还可以为Ghost Mode设置计时器，因此您可以根据需要选择打开和关闭它。如果您更担心Snapchat本身拥有您的位置，那么更改智能手机上的设置也可以解决此问题。
请记住，如果您不共享您的位置，您可能无法访问应用程序(the app)上提供的特定位置过滤器。如果您想查看这些过滤器中的任何一个是否可用，您可以随时再次打开位置共享以在短时间内使用它们。
保持您的位置不可见可以保护您自己免受可能出于恶意原因试图窥探或想要找出您的位置的人的安全。由于您有时可能不知道您在Snapchat上将谁添加为好友，因此这一点非常重要。
What Is Ghost Mode on Snapchat and How to Turn It On?
Location-tracking seems to take place in almost every app you use. It can be anxiety-provoking to feel like someone might be looking at where you are or where you’re going. You might just want the peace of mind that comes with no one knowing where you actually are.
Location services on Snapchat in particular are used to show your Snapchat friends approximately where you are. This is so you can see who is around you, what your friends are doing, and look at how many friends you have.
However, there is a feature on Snapchat known as “Ghost Mode” which will allow you to remove yourself from this map.
What Is Ghost Mode on Snapchat and How to Use It
When you put your account into Ghost Mode, Snapchat will no longer share your location with your friends, only yourself. To understand this, though, here’s more on how Snapchat location sharing works.
When you have the Snapchat app open and you have location sharing on for your friends, it will update and place your Bitmoji on the Snap Map to show where you are. It won’t update your location unless you open Snapchat.
You can change who sees your shared location, and this is where Ghost Mode on Snapchat comes in. You can choose to share your location either with all your friends (only after you have added them back, and vice versa), specific friends that you choose to share your location with, or just you, which is Ghost Mode.
In Ghost Mode, people won’t be able to see you on Snap Maps, which is the world-wide map within the Snapchat app. Your location will also no longer be updated. However, people can still request to see your location, but you’ll have to accept this request first for your location to be sent.
If you don’t want to appear on Snap Maps but still want some friends to see your location, choosing the Select Friends option when setting your location sharing might be a better option. If you don’t want anyone to see you at all, then you can turn on Ghost Mode. Here’s to do that.
How to Turn On Ghost Mode on Snapchat
After you open Snapchat, follow these steps to turn on Ghost Mode:
- Tap on your profile picture.
- Tap on the settings icon in the top right corner, which looks like a gear.
- Scroll down to Who Can… and tap on See My Location.
- At the top you’ll see the option for Ghost Mode. Toggle it on and you’ll be given an option to set a timer for Ghost Mode. You can choose to have it on for 3 hours, 24 hours, or just until you turn it off yourself.
- To turn Ghost Mode off, tap on the same toggle.
Alternatively, you can also go to the Snap Map section of the app, tap on the gear icon in the top-right corner, and you’ll come to the same location sharing settings screen.
On this screen you can also choose to exclude certain friends from seeing your location, or choose friends that can see it while everyone else can’t.
Under Location Requests you can also choose whether or not you want to allow your friends to request your location. If this is turned off, nobody will be able to send you a location share request.
How to Change Location Access for Snapchat
If you don’t want Snapchat to have access to your location at all, you can make some changes in your smartphone settings to do this. Here’s how to change these settings on iOS.
- Go to Settings.
- Scroll down to your apps and choose Snapchat.
- Tap on Location.
- Under Allow Location Access tap Never.
This will not allow Snapchat to see your location and will essentially put you into Ghost Mode, as others won’t be able to see your location either. There is another option that can also be useful, the Precise Location setting.
If you have this on, Snapchat will be able to determine exactly where you are, and will show it to others on the Snap Map. If you still want to be on the map, but you don’t want people to know your exact location, turning this off will do that. It will show you on Snap Maps around the area that you are but not your exact whereabouts.
Using Ghost Mode on Snapchat
Ghost Mode can be very useful if you feel uncomfortable having your location visible to everyone. Since you can also set a timer for Ghost Mode, you can choose to have it on and off as you wish. If you’re more worried about Snapchat itself having your location, changing the settings on your smartphone can also work for this.
Keep in mind that if you aren’t sharing your location, you may not have access to location-specific filters that are available on the app. If you want to see if any of these filters are available, you can always turn location sharing on again for a short period to use them.
Keeping your location invisible can keep yourself safe from people who may try to pry or want to figure out your location for malicious reasons. Since you sometimes may not know exactly who you’re adding as a friend on Snapchat, this can be very important.
