Privacy and Safety by Design
Privacy and Safety Built In From Day One.
Opens to a Camera, Not a Feed of Content.
Snapchat is an alternative to traditional social media—a visual messaging app that helps enhance your relationship with your friends, family, and the world. That’s why Snapchat opens directly to the camera, not a content feed, and focuses on connecting people who are already friends in real life. Snapchat empowers you to express yourself and have fun with friends without the pressure to grow a following or compete for likes.
Communication that Reflects Real Life
Because messages delete by default, Snapchat reflects how you normally interact with friends face-to-face or on the phone.
Safeguards and Protections For You
We want Snapchat to be safe for everyone. We offer extra protections for young people and don’t allow unvetted content to go viral.
