Recent user numbers for the messaging app Snapchat currently sit at approximately 800 million and figures from data gathering company Statista indicate that roughly 20% of those users are under 18. That’s a lot of young people participating in this sprawling social media platform, many of whom are potentially unaware of the associated risks. 

That’s why we’re releasing this week’s guide – also available in podcast format for those who want to listen on the go. It can be tricky to know how to safeguard younger users on Snapchat but we aim to show you how, while also giving you in-depth knowledge of the online safety risks posed by this platform.
