We have been given the following warning:

Snapchat have introduced a new tracker in the update where you can view the exact location of your friends.  It can give you the area, town and street and if you zoom in enough, it shows the house on the street layout. 

If your children are on Snapchat please check that their location settings are set to Ghost mode.

To do this make sure the app is the updated version and go to selfie mode on the camera. Then zoom out.  It will give you the option of changing who can see your location.

Please follow the link attached for more information. BBC Snap Chat Warning
