Social media control<br />
Instagram – especially popular for<br />
sharing photos and videos.<br />
The default profile setting is public.<br />
Change this by tapping the three<br />
horizontal lines in your profile<br />
window, tap Settings, and Privacy<br />
and Security. Select Account Privacy,<br />
Private Account to only be followed by<br />
people you approve. You can block<br />
people, remove the location (geotags<br />
from your geo-map) from photos,<br />
manually add photos to your profile<br />
rather than letting others tag you.<br />
Snapchat – has cool “FaceFilters”, such as<br />
cute dog ears, glasses, radiating hearts,<br />
etc. In Snapchat, once a message is viewed<br />
it disappears forever (unless you take a<br />
screenshot). This means you can’t see sent<br />
and received messages if you check your<br />
child’s phone. For this reason, it’s said to be<br />
liked by cyberbullies.<br />
In the profile screen top right-hand corner<br />
you can control who can contact them<br />
directly, view their story, remove/block<br />
Snapchatters who are friends or anyone else,<br />
and Snapchatters who added them. When<br />
you download Snapchat, it asks for your<br />
date of birth and if this tells it you’re under<br />
13, you’re redirected to the kids’ version,<br />
SnapKidz. A free FaceFilter app is also<br />
available for use on social networks other<br />
than Snapchat.<br />
