Snapchat is very popular with young people. It is a free app that lets you send a photo, short video or message to your contacts. The ‘snap’ appears on screen for up to 10 seconds before disappearing. Concerns have been strangers adding you, you cannot control what you see when you open a Snapchat from someone else and others can screenshot your Snapchats and then share them.  The NSPCC  Netaware and Connect Safely have produced guidance for parents.

WE DO NOT CONDONE THE USE OF ANY CHILDREN USING SNAPCHAT, AS THE MINIMUM AGE IS 13.
