Snapchat is launching a new Home Safe feature that makes it easier to inform your loved ones when you have arrived safely after making your way home. Building on the app’s existing location capabilities, Snapchat’s Home Safe allows you to send an automatic alert to chat conversations with friends to let them know you’re back at home without having to remember to send direct messages.

While many communications apps like Snapchat, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger enable you to share live location information that others can track, the Home Safe alerts mean that your friends don’t need to keep checking on your progress. Snap says that the notification only goes out once and then shuts off automatically. The alerts can only be sent to friends that Snapchat users are already sharing their location with, which allows users to proactively select exactly who they want to send the Home Safe alerts to.

To access the feature, users need to set their home location on Snap Map by tapping on their Bitmoji and then selecting “My Home.” Once the location is set, users can then tap on the Map icon in their conversations and select the “Home Safe” button when starting to make the journey back home. Alerts will then be sent out when the app registers that the user has arrived at their home destination.
