How it works ? When viewing a snap or story, swipe up on the screen to get information about the location of your friend who took the snap. The additional data is made possible through Snapchat partnerships including TripAdvisor, Foursquare and Michelin. The app also allows interactions with many services such as Uber, Google Maps and Lyft.
The purpose of these additions is to encourage the user to spend a little more time on the application while providing him with a good amount of practical information.

Not everyone wants to share their location information with their friends and above all, give them to the various partnerships mentioned above.
