Snapchat limits users under 16 to sharing Spotlights with friends

TechCrunch·June 10, 2026

Snapchat has introduced new restrictions for users under 16 years old, limiting their ability to share Spotlights with the public. Instead, these users will have a separate profile where they can share Stories and Spotlight posts, but only with friends that they follow back. This change aims to enhance privacy and safety for younger users on the platform. The new feature will help restrict their content to a more private audience.
