For instance, if you wanted to know what your friend is doing, you could just easily go on Snapchat and find out what they are doing. Now, there is a system where you can even find out where they are in what location straight away. Therefore, if you needed to find out where they are, you can do that almost instantly without even having to ask your friend.
On Instagram, there is something called live, where you can literally go on live and stream live to your followers (or if you are not on private then to anyone). On live you can comment and send out hearts on live and almost communicate through live.
