Snapchat, a social media platform, is rolling out new safety features to protect teens online.
– Communicating with people from all over the world has become simple these days. Through social media platforms, we can talk with friends and family no matter where we are.
“There’s nothing more important than keeping our users and particularly our teen Snapchatters safe,” said Rachel Hochhauser, head of Safety Operations Outreach at Snapchat.Expanded in-app warnings - Teens will now get a warning message if they get a chat from someone who has been blocked or reported from others in the area or is from a location that is outside of the teen’s normal network.
Enhanced friending protections - This prevents suspicious friend requests from getting to the teen in the first place.
