Snapchat has introduced a new safety feature called Home Safe. This feature automatically notifies pre-selected friends in a chat when a user arrives home, leveraging the app's existing location services. The alert is sent only once upon arrival and requires users to first set their home location within Snap Map and select recipients from their existing location-sharing contacts.

To use Home Safe, users must designate their home address on Snap Map. Then, while traveling home, they can activate the feature through their chat's map icon. The feature eliminates the need for users to manually update friends on their safe arrival.

Impact Statement: The feature enhances user safety and convenience by providing an automated way to share arrival information with trusted contacts.
