Things for your child to look for
Snapchat can be very addictive to children due to the filters and stories that are easy to get obsessed with. Some children have gone to the extent of creating new identities based on these filters.
Snapchat messages are designed to self-destruct, so it allows users to take benefit and use this inappropriately. Some exploit this by taking screenshots. The files can then be spread more and can be an issue when it comes to privacy.
Children may share what they want thinking it will be deleted automatically after 24 hours, sometimes that’s not the case. Even though Snapchat notifies you if someone tries to screenshot your pictures, it doesn’t prevent them from doing it.
