The company plans to reveal new tools for parents under development in the next few months.The tools say that they respect privacy, but to some extent their parents can understand what kind of people they are interacting with in the app.

In October 2021, NBC News reported on the death of young or twenties, who was said to have purchased a drug in Fentanyl through Snapchat, and SNAP was criticized.Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times more effective as morphine and is said to have a risk of death.
