It should only legally be used by children aged 13 years and above but children much younger than this are regularly accessing the app. For that reason, it’s important to understand the potential risks to younger users when spending time on this app.

It can be difficult to identify every hazard associated with the platform, let alone what can be done to mitigate these concerns. The National College guide lays out the key online safety risks of Snapchat, as well as how to safeguard young people while they use the app.
