Snapchat has introduced a series of new safety features aimed at enhancing the online safety of teenagers using the platform. Announced on Tuesday, the new features include improved blocking capabilities, simplified location-sharing, enhanced friending protections, and expanded in-chat warnings. These measures are designed to make it more difficult for strangers and bad actors to contact users, particularly teens. The updates also aim to protect teens from sextortion by introducing expanded warning pop-ups when a teen receives a message from someone they don't share mutual friends with or have in their contacts, according to TechCrunch.
