Is Snapchat Safe for Your Kids?

If you have a kid or a teen, you probably know a thing or two about social media and popular messengers. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat are spaces where kids spend most of their free time. This digital world often becomes the one they prefer to reality.

Many kids prefer to express themselves online by creating an image they can’t afford in real life. It’s easier for them to show emotions through texting rather than talking to someone in person. So, messengers become a lifesaver for many young people.

Snapchat is one of the most popular apps that kids and teens use for daily communication. However, except for a stack of useful features, it can be a danger for your kid. According to McAfee’s Teens and Screens study, children tend to speak with strangers online and overshare personal information. About 59% of interviewed kids connect with strangers via social apps, while 1 out of 12 kids meets them in person. Such online behavior can get young people into real trouble, as predators often hide behind fake Snapchat accounts.

We just need to have a conversation about the dangers of using social media and how not to put yourself at risk. But usually, today's children already know this themselves.

I think Snapchat is not harmful, if you control your kids' activities somehow. You know, social media are more or less the same. Meaning that they can be all useful and harmful, depending on what exactly people are doing there. I prefer my children to focus on studies more, so this is why we are now reading how to go live on tiktok on iphone because I found out, that Tiktok provides great video content and it is much better than idle chat. But of course you should be on the watch always.
