How old should kids be to use Instagram? According to the terms of service, you have to be 13, but there’s no age-verification process, so it’s very easy for kids under 13 to sign up. Common Sense rates Instagram for age 15 and up because of mature content, access to strangers, marketing ploys, and data collection.

An 11-year-old should not have a boyfriend or girlfriend. Though some may look physically adult at such a young age, tweens do not have the ability to handle the emotional decisions that accompany romantic relationships.

Legally, you are supposed to be at least 13 years old to use Snapchat (although like Instagram, many kids under 13 are already using it). If you are under 18, you are supposed to get parental permission. There is a version for kids under 13 called Snapkidz. For now, I won’t let my 11 year old get Snapchat.

Snapkidz has been discontinued.

In 2013, Snapchat (SNAP) launched a version of its disappearing photo platform for kids under 13 called SnapKidz. It was a limited version of its main app and didn’t let users send or receive photos or add friends. It has since been discontinued.

However, SnapKidz was discontinued around 2016. Now, Snapchat simply states that you must be at least 13 to sign up and redirects to the terms of service. If you want to use Snapchat, you need to be at least 13 years old.

13 years old

In essence, SnapKidz is just a photo and drawing app for kids, which lacks Snapchat’s main feature: sending messages. The kid-friendly option is currently only available as part of an update to the iOS app, but may roll out to Android in the future.

According to SnapChat’s own Terms of Service, users are supposed to be age 13 or up, and users under 18 have to verify that they’re using the app with a parent’s permission. That means that technically, nine-year-olds shouldn’t be using SnapChat at all.

A software called mSpy allows parents to see what their children are sending on Snapchat, as well as who they’re calling, texting, emailing and where they are. The parent must download the software onto their child’s phone first. Once it is installed, they can see the messages on their own device.
