SILVER SPRING, Md. - March 9, 2016 - PRLog -- PocketGuardian announces monitoring support for mobile application Snapchat.

Snapchat is a video messaging app that allows users to send messages, images and videos with a time limit for how long recipients can view them.

“Parents have requested Snapchat monitoring for quite some time as it is one of the more popular apps used by kids. We are extremely excited about adding Snapchat to the growing list of apps that PocketGuardian monitors”, says PocketGuardian Co-Founder Jason France.

“Our goals are to promote communication between parent and child, build parent-child trust, and alerting inappropriate content without invading privacy,” says James Ryan, Co-Founder of PocketGuardian. “By adding monitoring support for Snapchat we feel we are reaching closer to keeping all kids safe online”

PocketGuardian uses proprietary software to detect inappropriate content including cyberbullying, sexting, and explicit images. Parents are alerted to inappropriate content on their child’s mobile devices and social media accounts without divulging the actual content. Alerts contain timestamps, alert types, who sent the content, which app or social media site was sued, and parental resources.

The list of mobile applications and social network site PocketGuardian monitors includes SMS, iMessage, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp, Kik, Viber, Line, Whisper, Oovoo, Calculator%, and Calculator Pro.
