With your guidance on privacy, safety, social media pressure and marketing, though, Snapchat can be a fun way for teens to connect. But other features pose some risks: Snap Map lets friends see each other's location on a map, which isn't always safe Snapstreaks requires kids to exchange messages for as long as possible, which is a major time-suck and Discover offers some age-inappropriate content. The app has a lighthearted design, and its photo filters and effects tend toward rainbows and flower crowns. And for the most part, that's what they use Snapchat for. Something about snapping, sharing and then forgetting about life's little moments has massive appeal for kids. In addition to letting you connect with and follow friends, Snapchat offers a lot more cool stuff: games, news and entertainment, quizzes and truly innovative photo- and video-editing tools (so innovative, in fact, it's nearly impossible for grown-ups to figure them out-another reason kids love it).
