Snapchat released its AI chatbot to the public, and people are cracking into it. However, it seems that My AI can access your location even if you\u2019re not sharing your location with the app.<br \/>\nNow, this is still a developing story, so expect to see more on it in the future. My AI is Snapchat\u2019s AI chatbot that\u2019s powered by ChatGPT. With it, the user has a ton of AI power at their fingertips. While it\u2019s powered by ChatGPT, there are some differences in its functionality.<br \/>\nMy AI might know your location even if you\u2019re not sharing it with Snapchat<br \/>\nWe\u2019re all familiar with the threat of social media platforms having access to our locations on a constant basis. This is why many of us choose not to share our location with these apps. It\u2019s easy to disable location tracking, and, in Snapchat\u2019s case, you can still use the app\u2019s core capabilities without sharing your location.<br \/>\nNow, let\u2019s talk about My AI. Reports are popping up around the internet that this chatbot is able to pinpoint a person\u2019s location. Now, this wouldn\u2019t be a huge deal if the person was sharing their location with Snapchat. However, numerous people are saying that it was able to give them location-based information even with their location isn\u2019t being shared with the app.<br \/>\nI\u2019ve been able to replicate this but I couldn\u2019t at first. The thing is that when I downloaded Snapchat, I never shared my location with the app. So, when I first asked My AI something like \u201cWhere\u2019s the nearest Burger King\u201d, it couldn\u2019t deliver any results.<br \/>\nI tried multiple times. However, I enabled the location permission for a few seconds, went to the Snap Map for a second, disabled the location permission, then went to My AI. I asked it about a nearby location, and it was able to pull results. My location permission was disabled at this point.<br \/>\nSo, if you\u2019ve shared your location with Snapchat at any point, My AI is able to pull from that data. This could mean that, while you\u2019re not currently sharing your information with Snapchat, your location is still stored on the company\u2019s servers. We\u2019ll have to wait and see if the company is going to respond to this.<br \/>\nThe post Snapchat My AI knows your location\u2026 even with location turned off appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/Snapchat-my-ai-1-AH.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI is fun, interesting, impressive, and oh-so-scary!
