Family Center

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

Ano ang Family Center?

Ang Family Center ng Snapchat ay ang aming in-app na tool na idinisenyo para bigyan ang mga magulang at tagapag-alaga ng insight sa kung paano ginagamit ng kanilang mga tinedyer ang Snapchat. Sinasalamin ng Family Center ang dynamics ng mga totoong relasyon sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng visibility sa kung ano ang ginagawa ng iyong mga tinedyer at pagpapahintulot sa iyong i-adjust ang mga pangunahing setting, nang hindi ipinapakita ang nilalaman ng kanilang mga pribadong pag-uusap.

Getting Started on Family Center

Don't have a Snapchat account yet? Follow these instructions to download the Snapchat app and get started on Family Center. If you already have Snapchat, start at Step 4.

Step 1: Download Snapchat

Start by downloading Snapchat from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store to your mobile phone.

Step 2: Sign Up for Snapchat

Open the app and tap ‘Sign Up’ to create an account. Once you enter all the relevant information as prompted, you can create your Snapchat username.

Step 3: Add Each Other on Snapchat

Ask each other for your usernames so you can become Snapchat friends. Once you’ve shared usernames, you can search for each other using the search bar at the Camera screen’s top-left corner.

Once you’ve accepted each other’s friend requests, you’ll be ready to get started with Family Center.

Step 4: Access Family Center

There are two ways to access Family Center on Snapchat:

1) You can use the search bar. Search relevant terms such as “safety,” “family,” or “parent,” and Family Center will appear.

2) Or, head to Settings (gear icon), located in the top-right corner of your Profile Page (located at the top left corner across all screens), where Family Center has a permanent home.

Step 5: Parents, Invite Your Teen to Family Center

Once a parent opens Family Center, they’ll need to invite their teen to join. Teens will receive an invitation card, and they must opt in to participate.

Step 6: Begin Using Family Center

Teens need to tap ‘Accept,’ and both parties will be notified that the status of the invitation has been updated.

Parents, now, you can use Family Center to see who your teens are talking to and set parental controls on Snapchat.
