Is Snapchat Safe for Kids?
Risks of Location Sharing
Snap Map feature has made it possible for online predators to find your kid outside the app and even meet up in the real world.
Unclassified Content
Mature ads, offensive language, phishing, and nudity could pop up easily on Snapchat. Content is often promotional.
Cyberbullying
Bullies can easily form groups, share stories, or DM on Snapchat to share embarrassing photos, degrade, and spread rumors.
Snapchat Addiction
Snapchat's notifications and features like disappearing snaps and streaks make kids constantly check their phones.
Snapchat Parental Controls Tailored for Every Age Group
3-8 Years Old | Early Childhood
Children in this age group are too young for Snapchat and can easily become overly engaged with mobile devices. Strict parental controls are very crucial.
- Block Snapchat to avoid accidental exposure to inappropriate content.
- Deny the download of Snapchat (iOS only).
9-13 Years Old | Pre-teens
Children at this age are curious about social media and are often influenced by trends. As they explore new interests, they require tailored protection to ensure their safety.
- From school time to bedtime, decide when your kids can use Snapchat.
- Monitor their Snapchat conversations for exclusive insights, and receive alerts on potential dangers.
- Disable Snapchat with one click if you notice suspicious behaviors or risks.
14-17 Years Old | Teenagers
At this stage, your teens seek independence yet need guidance to manage peer pressure, adapt to society, and romantic relationships.
- Check the app usage of your teens' devices, and learn more about their daily habits, maintain open and honest communication.
- Monitor Snapchat to be aware of their contacts and communication.
- Scan Snapchat texts for threats like sexting, cyberbullying, and more, ensuring their online safety.
Benefits of Parental Controls for Snapchat
Stand Against Sexting
Sexting is prevalent on Snapchat. Monitor children's Snapchat for any such content to ensure they don't become involved in sexting, either as victims or participants.
Guard Against Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying may involve your child receiving or sending hate messages. Ensure they aren't receiving hate from peers or an ex, and aren't bullying others via Snapchat.
Prevent Addiction
The fear of missing out on new stories or constant notifications can lead to children spending excessive time on Snapchat. Implementing timely parental controls can help children balance their Snapchat usage with their daily lives and minimize distractions.
Minimize Risky Use
Parents can stay informed about their children's interactions on Snapchat, maintain open conversations, and promote discussions about using Snapchat safely and responsibly, including the risks associated with features like Snapchat Map.

Hear Voices from Parents
Recently, my daughter has been involved in Snapchat, AirDroid Parental Control helped me to know the truth.
With AirDroid Parental Control, I don't have to struggle to balance my son’s online independence with his safety even if I'm not around.
You’re able to hide the app icon from view on your children's Android devices so they are unaware of its presence. Well done to the app developers!
5 plus stars in my opinion! View all notifications ur child receives, see their battery charge, their location, open up their camera, and see in real-time video of what’s happening and one-way audio!
The ability to set daily limits ensures my son balances his online activities with homework and family time. His focus and overall mood have improved significantly!
It allows me to block specific apps on my child's device. It gives me peace of mind knowing that they can't access inappropriate games or distractions during study hours.
What I loved most about the app is the ability to set up a geo-fence which immediately alerts me when my son goes to a region that I have marked as a no-go-zone.
I can monitor the kind of content my child interacts with online. It alerts me to any concerning keywords, allowing me to address potential issues early on.
I'm beyond impressed with AirDroid Kids's stealth mode for Android, providing me with peace of mind. I can protect my teens without them feeling intruded upon.
