Monthly checklist

Every month follow these tips to ensure your Snapchat account is as safe as possible.

  • Set Your Account to Private: Adjust your privacy settings so only friends can contact you or view your stories. This limits exposure to potential online risks.

  • Think Before You Snap: Remember that recipients can take screenshots or use another camera to capture your snaps, even though they are meant to disappear. Avoid sharing sensitive personal information.

  • Check that your device has the most up to date software/firmware update
