Snapchat is one of the most frequently used messaging services for 13-18-year olds. To effectively communicate with students about Snapchat, it’s useful for educators to have an understanding of how Snapchat works.
Snapchat is a communications app designed for people ages 13 and older that helps people feel close to those who matter most to them.
