First up, active status on Snap Map is how you know someone’s using Snapchat right now. You open the map, see their Bitmoji at a spot—like a burger joint—and it might glow or have a little animation, like waving. No “Last seen 10 minutes ago” timestamp means they’re probably snapping or chilling in the app. It’s Snapchat’s new way of showing someone’s online without the old “Here Just Now” label, which isn’t really a thing anymore in 2025.
Example: Your friend’s Bitmoji is at a skate park, glowing with no timestamp. That means they’re on Snapchat, maybe posting a story. If they close the app, it’ll show “Last seen 5m ago” at the skate park.
“Live” is totally different—it’s part of the Live Location feature, not regular Snap Map. It means someone’s sharing their real-time location with you, even if Snapchat’s closed. Their Bitmoji moves on the map as they go, with a flashing green pulse or an orange/yellow dot. They pick you specifically and set a timer, like 15 minutes or 1 hour, for safety vibes, like letting you know they’re okay.
Example: Your sibling’s heading to a concert and shares Live Location with you for 1 hour. You see their Bitmoji walking down the street with a green pulse, updating as they move, even if their phone’s in their pocket.
What’s the Difference?
- Active Status: Shows they’re on Snapchat now, with a glowing Bitmoji on Snap Map. It’s casual, for whoever they share their location with.
- Live: Shows their exact, real-time movement, only for specific friends they choose, with a pulsing dot for safety.
Quick Tip: Live Location shares your every step, so only use it with your besties or family. You can turn it off anytime, no notification sent. Also, if you don’t see friends on Snap Map, they might be in Ghost Mode or not sharing with you—check those settings!
