Snapchat Tightens Safety for Teens

Snapchat just dropped major safety upgrades for teens—starting now, kids aged 13-15 can only share Spotlight posts with people they follow back. Their Stories and Spotlight content will live in a private, friend-only profile, hiding likes and follower counts to reduce pressure. Teens 16-18 can still share publicly, but only with friends, followers, or mutuals. Parents get new Family Center tools to track time spent on key features. These moves follow similar steps from Instagram and come after Snapchat settled a lawsuit over social media addiction—showing the platform’s serious push to keep younger users safer online.
