Since social media were introduced, people in this modern generation are influenced as they enjoy sharing information, ideas, interests, and other forms of expression through virtual communities. And Snapchat is one of the most appealing social media today.

One of the notable features of Snapchat is the snapping feature where kids and teens are enjoying snapping photos and videos and sharing them with friends through private messages. And what makes this feature more appealing to youngsters is the messages and photos shared with your friends are meant to be deleted after viewing. That means that they are only available for a short time. Another amazing feature of Snapchat is the Snap Map which allows the user to see his/her Snapchat contacts' locations when shared. 

The Snapchat features are amazing yet alarming, especially for youngsters. They might get exposed to inappropriate content and online predators or stalkers who will follow the teens' locations after sharing them on Snap Map. To protect them, you will need to set parental control on their Snapchat.

However, there are instances when parental control is not enough to protect youngsters. If you have a case like this and you feel that this app is not safe anymore, then it’s time to block the Snapchat app on your child’s phone just to make sure that you sound reasonable for blocking the app. And if you are worried about the compatibility of the app, well, it will work on both Android phones and iPhones.

But if you don’t want any argument between you and your child about blocking his/her Snapchat app on his/her phone, then try to block the app remotely without your child’s knowledge using a third-party monitoring app. This powerful monitoring app is compatible with iOS and Android phones, which means you can use the app whether your child is using an iPhone or Android phone. You can also restrict websites and uninstall apps on your child’s phone.
