Snapchat will soon show a pop-up for teenagers whenever someone they might not know tries to contact them on the platform.
Snapchat is getting a bunch of new features aimed at protecting teenagers from potential online risks. The company says it will be implementing a new strike system and detection technologies to remove accounts that market or promote inappropriate content to teens.
As part of its latest efforts, the upcoming features will protect teens from being contacted by people they haven’t interacted with in real life and will provide a much-improved age-appropriate viewing content experience.
Snap Inc., the parent company of Snapchat says a pop-up warning will appear for teenagers if people who they don’t have mutual contacts with or someone they don’t know tries to add them. The app will also offer a quick way for teens to report or block strangers.
