What’s the minimum age to use Snapchat?
The minimum age to have a Snapchat account is 13 years old, with some regional variations described below. Some features may require you to be older. Age requirements can vary by feature to help keep Snapchat safe and age-appropriate.
Does my location affect how old I need to be to use Snapchat?
Laws in your country or region may set a different minimum age than 13 to use Snapchat or to access certain features. If you are under the required age in your region, you will not be able to use impacted features or the Snapchat app until you reach the minimum age.
How do I verify my age?
In some scenarios, you may need to verify that you meet the minimum age requirements to use Snapchat in your area. The methods and process required to verify your eligibility to use Snapchat can also vary based on where you live. If you need to verify your age or complete any other steps, you’ll see more information about your options in the Snapchat app.
