'Family Center' allows parents to see who their teens are communicating with, if their kids consent to that sort of thing, first.
“Family Center is designed to reflect the way that parents engage with their teens in the real world, where parents usually know who their teens are friends with and when they are hanging out – but don’t eavesdrop on their private conversations,” wrote the company in its blogpost.
One big hurdle: to access the Family Center, parents and guardians will need to make a Snapchat account and be able to navigate the app. The monitoring feature will be accessible on the search bar and also at the bottom of the settings menu. And the monitoring + monitored account will need to be bi-directional friends to allow for parental control.“Parents, guardians, or trusted relatives aged 25+ can invite their family members to join Family Center,” explained the company inintroducing the feature. Only Snapchat users between the ages of 13-18 are able to join a parent’s Family Center.
