Parental Social Controls

Snapchat Debuts New Parental Controls for Parents Monitoring Their Kids

— March 17, 2023 — Tech
Snapchat has confirmed that Family Center will receive significant upgrades, including new parental controls for content accessibility. Snapchat's Family Center is a dedicated hub for parents looking to monitor their children's accounts. The latest Family Center feature, 'Content Limits,' lets parents restrict the kinds of information that their kids may view on Snapchat. Parents may now filter out Stories from publishers and authors they believe are unsuitable for their children using the newly introduced controls.

As Snap's controls are intended to stop "unvetted content from becoming viral," it is more difficult for some of the content discovered on TikTok or other social media platforms to be shared widely on Snapchat.

Snap has also unveiled plans to expand the Family Center's additional features. Some of these new features will be based on My AI, and are designed to provide parents with better insight and control over how their children use My AI, Snap's experimental chatbot.
