I was active on it for few hours in Mumbai, but wasn't able to connect with any friends at this stage. The chat and meetup with friends is integrated well, but since this is a new feature it may take take some time for people to get a hang of it and network effects to kick in. While the intensity of the colour indicates activity, including a numerical value for a geofenced area may give users a more objective understanding of the most exciting spots in their city or country. For example, parts of Malaysia and Singapore seemed to be more active on Snap Maps compared to India. The 'heat map' colour varies and get darker based on activity at a particular place. Stories that show up via the heat map feature include only the location and doesn't seem to include usernames, which is good from a privacy perspective. While it is barely 48 hours since Snap Inc officially launched Snap Maps to a global audience, one can see a lot of interesting heat maps across different cities in India and abroad. Examples of Actionmojis today include things like: at the beach, at the airport, sitting and a handful more. To infer the best Actionmoji, Snapchat may look at things like your location, time of day, or speed of travel. If a group of friends are together on the Map, then the user will also see the option to kick off a group chat. If a Snapchatter has not opened the app in several hours, their Actionmoji disappears from the Map entirely. Snapchat clarifed that Actionmoji’s location on the Map only updates when Snapchat is opened. Users can zoom in and navigate maps to explore their city and even strike up a conversation with an active friend by just tapping on their Actionmoji.
