Snapchat Tightens Controls for Underage Users
English Summary
The social media giant is introducing new measures to safeguard younger users on its platform.
Key Details
Under the new restrictions, users aged 13-15 will be limited to sharing Spotlight posts with people they follow back.
Users under 16 will have a separate profile to view Stories and Spotlight posts from friends they follow back.
No metrics such as favorite counts will be displayed on these profiles to reduce pressure on engagement.
Why It Matters
The move aims to prevent underage users from being doxxed or contacted by strangers.
This change will also help parents monitor their children’s screen time and activity on the platform.
