Family Center

Our in-app tool is designed to support parents in guiding their teens toward a safe and positive online experience.

Hvad er Familiecenter?

Snapchats Familiecenter er vores værktøj i appen, der er designet til at give forældre og omsorgspersoner indsigt i, hvordan deres teenagere bruger Snapchat. Familiecenter afspejler dynamikken i virkelige forhold ved at give synlighed for, hvad dine teenagere laver, og give dig mulighed for at justere vigtige indstillinger uden at vise indholdet af deres private samtaler.
