Snapchat is the popular app that sends self-destructing messages. It is very popular among users but restricted for users under age of 13 years. Now it has launched a kid friendly version called SnapKidz. Kinds under 13 years age can register and use this app.
SnapKidz has a simple interface for taking snaps, drawing, captioning and saving it locally in the device. This app does not allow users to send snaps as messages or add friends. In simple words, you can say that is a photo and drawing app for kids.
“In the new iOS version, kids under the age of 13 are able to fill out the registration form, however their user information is not sent to us and an account is not created. Instead they are able to use “SnapKidz” a version of Snapchat that includes an interface for taking snaps, captioning, drawing, and saving them locally on the device, but does not support sending or receiving snaps or adding friends. We’re trying it out first on iOS and if all goes well, we hope to include it in an upcoming Android update,” Snapkidz posted on blog.
SnapKids is only available for iOS users as part of an update to the iOS app, but it will be available for Android users soon.
