Snapchat has launched a new feature called "Place Loyalty" badges on its Snap Map platform, allowing users to see and optionally share their ranking at frequently visited locations.

The badges appear when users rank in the top 25% of people who visit a particular place, displaying their relative standing compared to other Snapchat users at that location. Users can view these rankings on the Snap Map and have the option to share this information with others.

The feature builds on Snapchat's existing location-based services, which allow users to see where their friends are and discover what's happening in different areas. Snap Map has been a key component of the social media platform since its introduction, encouraging users to share their locations and activities.

Users maintain control over their privacy settings and can choose whether to display their Place Loyalty badges to others. The feature represents Snapchat's continued focus on location-based social features and gamification elements to increase user engagement with the platform.
