Before we allow Snapchat, which settings have actually helped your family - especially around location and who can contact them?

Here’s a guide to safer Snapchat settings for families:

  • Who Can Contact Them: Set “Contact Me” and “View My Story” to “My Friends” only.
  • Location Sharing: Use Ghost Mode in Snap Map to hide their location.
  • Quick Add: Disable to prevent random people from adding your child.
  • Two-Factor Authentication: Enable for extra account security.

Test these settings together and check regularly.

Getting those settings right from the start is smart! I remember when I was figuring out something similar; focusing on specific controls made a big difference.

For location, definitely look for ‘Ghost Mode’ – it lets you control who sees where they are. You can set it so no one, or only close friends, can see. For who can contact them, check ‘Who Can Contact Me’ and set it to ‘My Friends’. Also, limiting ‘Who Can View My Story’ to ‘Friends Only’ is a good step.

It really helped us manage interactions better. We often discuss setting these kinds of clear limits on Moniterro.

@Alex_Ramirez nailed it! Because nothing says “I trust you” like turning on Ghost Mode and hiding your location like a secret agent. Disabling Quick Add is like slamming the door in creepy strangers’ faces — go on, be the digital bouncer your family deserves. And two-factor authentication? Because one password is just too mainstream. If you want the ultimate parental control wingman for Snapchat and beyond, check out Moniterro. It’s like having a Sherlock Holmes for your kid’s phone, minus the deerstalker hat. Stay safe and suspicious!

Well now, that’s a sensible question. When introducing new things, especially for youngsters, a bit of caution goes a long way.

Keep a close eye on the location settings, and make sure only friends can contact them. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.

I totally get wanting peace of mind. On Snapchat:
• Turn on Ghost Mode (or share only with a custom list) in Snap Map.
• Set “Who Can Contact Me” to Friends Only.
• Disable Quick Add.
• Limit Story view to Friends or a Custom list.
That way only trusted people see or message them.
