Snapkidz for children under 13

Summary

Snapchat has launched Snapkidz, a new feature within its iOS application, enabling users under 13 to engage with the platform's core photo editing functionalities. This segregated experience allows younger users to take pictures, add titles, and graffiti photos without creating a full Snapchat account. Crucially, Snapkidz operates as a local-only photo processing tool, preventing any social interaction by disallowing photo sharing, friend additions, or receiving content from others. Currently exclusive to iOS, the team plans to evaluate its performance before considering an Android release.

According to 36 Kr, in the past, you must be over 13 years old to register on Snapchat, while Snapchat added a new feature called Snapkidz in the latest version of its iOS app last weekend, users under 13 years old can use it now.

In short, Snapchat categorize users using people's age. For users older than 13, there are no many changes; but for those younger than 13, you can also fill out the registration form, but these information are not sent to Snapchat for registering a new account, instead they are sent to "Snapkidz", here you can take pictures, add titles and graffiti photos. The difference is the photograph edited can only be saved to local, you can not share it, you can not receive photos shared by others as well, naturally you can not add friends. It's just like a simple photo processing tool.

Snapkidz feature is currently only available on iOS version of Snapchat. If the result is good, Snapchat team will consider adding it to the Android platform. Interestingly, there is news that Snapchat just received a $80 million B round of funds, its valuation has reached $800 million.
