Snapchat has officially launched its new Family Center, which will enable parents to essentially monitor who their teens are engaging with in the app, while also keeping the specifics of their conversations private.
The aim of the Family Center is to help parents understand how their kids are engaging in the app, without overstepping privacy grounds.
In the words of Snapchat –
“Family Center is designed to reflect the way that parents engage with their teens in the real world, where parents usually know who their teens are friends with and when they are hanging out – but don’t eavesdrop on their private conversations. In the coming weeks, we will add a new feature that will allow parents to easily view new friends their teens have added.”
In order to access the platform, parents will need to sign up for their own Snapchat account, then access the Family Center in the app. Teens will need to accept an invitation from their parents to join their Family Center dashboard, so there’s full transparency in the process.
Some new features are also being added to the family center –
“… including new content controls for parents and the ability for teens to notify their parents when they report an account or a piece of content to us. While we closely moderate and curate both our content and entertainment platforms, and don’t allow unvetted content to reach a large audience on Snapchat, we know each family has different views on what content is appropriate for their teens and want to give them the option to make those personal decisions.”
Snapchat already includes measures to stop unwanted messages between adults and youngsters and limit teens from showing up in search results.
‘Family Center’ feature has been rolled out.
