Snap Maps don't just tell your friends where you are; they also disclose a few of your activities. And it's freaking people out big time.
SEE ALSO: 'Snap Maps' are "musical eroticism" eubanks winkler#tbm=bksprime territory for FOMO and lurkingAnyone who's found themselves lurking on Snap Maps since it launched last week might have spotted a few quirky details that occasionally pop up on people's Bitmojis. Some Bitmojis are appearing in yellow cars, planes, and even on big armchairs. And, some people's Bitmojis are disappearing from the maps completely without them switching on Ghost Mode.
So, what exactly is going on?
According to Snapchat, these Bitomojis are actually called "Actionmojis" and they appear when Snapchat pulls in things like your location, the time of day ,or your speed of travel. These Actionmojis are supposed to contextualise your friends' placement on the maps. The feature doesn't track any of those things while you're off the app, only when you're active in the app.

Here are just a few of the quirky things that have been appearing on people's Snap Maps.
Snapchat knows when you've been sleeping. Seemingly Snapchat can tell you're asleep based on the duration of your inactivity and the time of day. When you're asleep, your Actionmoji will appear is a very sleepy state on an armchair.

The map also picks up when you're headphones are plugged into the jack. When you're listening to music, your Actionmoji will don a tiny pair of headphones. Kind of cool, if we're honest.

Because the map looks at the speed at which you're travelling, it can also tell when you're in a car. When you're snapping in the backseat, your Actionmoji will appear in a yellow car.
