Keeping children safe online is more important than ever. Apps such as Snapchat are popular with young people for sharing messages, photos and videos, but they can also present risks including inappropriate content, AI-generated images, sextortion, online pressure, and excessive screen time.
Our latest Online Safety Guide for Parents explains how Snapchat works, the features young people use most, and the potential online safety risks to be aware of. The guide also provides practical advice on privacy settings, location sharing, managing contacts, and how parents and carers can support safer and healthier online habits.
By working together, we can help children enjoy social media safely, responsibly and with confidence.
