Have you ever been confused by a little yellow dot hovering over your Bitmoji on the Snap map? Don’t worry, you are not alone! I remember the first time when I saw that dot, I thought my friend was nearby or trying to text me.
But surprisingly, that’s not true. Here’s what I discovered at that time after a lot of internet browsing.
Displays a New Notification: Sometimes this little dot indicates that your friend is currently active on Snap map. Either they are updating their location, adding a new story nearby, or simply engaging with the platform.
Updates About Your Friends Joining: Yellow dot also pops up on your Bitmoji when your friend recently joined the Snap map feature. We can say, that Snapchat has introduced its own interesting way to tell you that there is something new, check it out!
Provide the Live Location of the People You are Following: You will see this yellow dot as a sign whenever your friend is sharing their live location or changing it in a real-time.
After Viewing, It Goes Away: Just like other notifications on the platform, once you’ve checked what’s new it will disappear from your Bitmoji.
Therefore, from my experience, I can say placing a yellow dot on your Bitmoji is just a Snapchat fun way to keep you updated with your friend's activity.
So, next time, if you see this yellow dot again, simply tap on it and find out what your friends are doing and where they are.
