I honestly definitely wouldn’t recommend wasting your time setting up a Snapchat account especially if you plan on using it. Anyone can ban your account just by reporting it. Often times I’d run into this problem, after refusing to send explicit photo of me with random people online spam accounts will report you until your account is banned. I made two back to back account in a row and was spammed the entire time then banned from my account. Lots of underage nudity and can actually be recommended to you in the “follow” section. Definitely isn’t an app for kids it’s an app for old men to bully kids for nudes in exchange to keep their account. They also do not have a support center to talk to. If you try to use the website the links provided will send you back to the beginning each time. After spending about an hour to file an appeal to unlock my account to get my photos back I was told the appeals DONT ACTUALLY EXIST back from a Snapchat email after trying to text the email back clarifying I hadn’t gone against Snapchats terms or guidelines. I received an email asking me to restate my problem which I had already 3 times then was never responded to again this has happened to every single Snapchat account me and everyone I know has made so everyone I know is switching to Instagram all together. If you need an app to communicate to someone with we recommend Instagram
