Benefits of Parental Controls for Snapchat

Stand Against Sexting

Sexting is prevalent on Snapchat. Monitor children's Snapchat for any such content to ensure they don't become involved in sexting, either as victims or participants.

Guard Against Cyberbullying

Cyberbullying may involve your child receiving or sending hate messages. Ensure they aren't receiving hate from peers or an ex, and aren't bullying others via Snapchat.

Prevent Addiction

The fear of missing out on new stories or constant notifications can lead to children spending excessive time on Snapchat. Implementing timely parental controls can help children balance their Snapchat usage with their daily lives and minimize distractions.

Minimize Risky Use

Parents can stay informed about their children's interactions on Snapchat, maintain open conversations, and promote discussions about using Snapchat safely and responsibly, including the risks associated with features like Snapchat Map.

How To Put Parental Controls On Snapchat

Hear Voices from Parents

Recently, my daughter has been involved in Snapchat, AirDroid Parental Control helped me to know the truth.

With AirDroid Parental Control, I don't have to struggle to balance my son’s online independence with his safety even if I'm not around.

You’re able to hide the app icon from view on your children's Android devices so they are unaware of its presence. Well done to the app developers!

5 plus stars in my opinion! View all notifications ur child receives, see their battery charge, their location, open up their camera, and see in real-time video of what’s happening and one-way audio!

The ability to set daily limits ensures my son balances his online activities with homework and family time. His focus and overall mood have improved significantly!

It allows me to block specific apps on my child's device. It gives me peace of mind knowing that they can't access inappropriate games or distractions during study hours.

What I loved most about the app is the ability to set up a geo-fence which immediately alerts me when my son goes to a region that I have marked as a no-go-zone.

I can monitor the kind of content my child interacts with online. It alerts me to any concerning keywords, allowing me to address potential issues early on.

I'm beyond impressed with AirDroid Kids's stealth mode for Android, providing me with peace of mind. I can protect my teens without them feeling intruded upon.
