I don't allow snapchat, period. It's the worst app ever and its founder is disgusting.

Echo the other PPs. Friends on snapchat is not the same as being friends on Instagram or Twitter. The only thing it allows you to do on snapchat is see snapstories. It has no impact on seeing snaps sent to or received by others.

Dick picks and tit picks can still be preserved forever when snapchat is used.

My dd does nothing naughty on her secret Instagram account. I'm amused she has it.

yes, I am, on both snapchat and instagram, though I'm not really sure how snapchat works.

The only thing you could see are snapstories, which not everyone does. Most snaps are sent to a specific list of people or are used to communicate with just one person.

OP here.
I trust him.
That's why it didn't occur to me to ask him to friend me.
But then I started wondering if I did the right thing.
I think maybe I should have asked him.

It's not too late.

Yes I'm friends but that doesn't stop she and her friends from just sending private snaps instead.

No, just on Instagram. I know about her hidden Instagram page too, but she doesn't know I know.

I'm not friends with my 16 year old who has it but if it were his first and only social media, yes I would join and be friends.

I just let my DS get Snapchat (the only social media for now) and I was wondering what others do.
