This feature was always available but recently, Snapchat started showing a worldwide view by default highlighting popular attractions and "world updates".

There you can see places like Central Park or Eiffel Tower on a world map. World updates can be also browsed from the Friends tab on Snapmap and there you will see a bunch of stories that happened during the day.

Both features are not new but previously you would rather see a local map by default.

### Tester Context:

- 📲 Snapchat is a well-known social app with loads of AR lenses.
- 📲 Snapchat is available in [Beta](https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.snapchat.android?ref=testingcatalog.com) and you can opt-in as a tester via Google Play.
