The good news: A prominent social media app recently made changes allowing parents and guardians to access more data on the children they care for who are ages 13 to 17. The bad news: You have to download Snapchat.
parents who want to know more about who your kids are talking to on their smartphones, I have good news and bad news.
Once it’s set up and your account is connected with those of your children, Snapchat’s new family center lets you see the child’s friend list, who they’re sending messages to, and report potential abuse. The family center does not let you peek into the content of their messages. Although the new feature allows you to see the approximate time your teen messaged someone during the past week, an exact timestamp isn’t provided.
Remember that once the family center is activated you’ll get live access to a list of your teen’s friends on Snapchat and the last time they messaged a user throughout the week. You will have zero access to the child’s frequency of communication with users or any saved photos. The feature is designed as an extra layer of privacy and security for minors on Snapchat, and users who are 18 and over are not eligible for tracking.
