"Now, when a teen adds a new friend on Snapchat, parents will be able to see how their teen might know the person - whether they have mutual friends, are saved in their contact book, and which communities they belong to."
"These trust signals make it easier for parents to understand new connections and have greater confidence that their teen is chatting with someone they know in real life."
Snapchat now reveals to parents how a teen might know a newly added friend by showing mutual friends, whether the person is saved in the teen's contacts, and which communities the person belongs to. These trust signals help parents assess the familiarity of new connections and reduce uncertainty about unknown contacts. The visible indicators aim to increase parental confidence that a teen is interacting with someone they know in real life. The feature supports more informed parental oversight and can facilitate safer conversations between parents and teens about online friendships.
