| Snapchat will remind you to clear your friends list |
Snap has introduced a new feature called "Friend Check" on the Snapchat social media app to remind users to remove unwanted contacts from their contact list.
This feature encourages users to shrink the list of friends in the app with the following notifications: Snapchat is suitable for real friends, while Snapchat users are hard to find for strangers.
According to the company, we all recognized the importance of digital tools for staying in touch (especially during a pandemic) and the potential risks these tools could pose.
She added: One of the sources of risk on digital platforms is the communications that can be made - sometimes under the outright pressure of the platform - to communicate with people we do not know in the real world. Life can expose us to negative experiences such as spreading false information, harassment or unnecessary situations.
The company stated that these risks must be taken into account when designing the app because there is no generally portable account for Snapchatters under the age of 18, and by default you cannot chat or chat directly unless you add yourself as added friends. Communicate with others.
Depending on your Snap Map settings, inviting someone to your Snapchat buddy list can give you access to your story and wherever you are. So the company wants to make sure that everyone on the friend list is always the one you really want to invite. People are friends.
If users use this feature, it can make the platform more secure. This way, you can know that there might be someone else on your friend list, but they shouldn't see you. Publish.
Snap said: This feature will be promoted globally on Android devices in the coming weeks and iOS devices in the coming months, and the reminder will appear as a notification on your account screen.
If you want to verify yourself before enabling this feature, you can view your friends list by going to your account and clicking "My Friends". You can also press and hold their name until the block list appears, or remove the friend. Remove a friend. Friend deleted.
The Friend Check Up feature is part of Snap's efforts to make Snapchat more user-friendly. This includes adding new resources and MindUP integration for parents trying to understand and support teens.
The social network is also part of the Crisis Text Project (The Crisis Text Project) to help people seeking help with mental health.
We hope Snapchatters find these tools helpful, and we encourage their support systems (parents, parents, and educators) to check out our new resources and talk to their kids about the importance of checking out friend lists.
