To add your teen to Family Center:
- Download Snapchat and register for an account. Make sure you have the latest version of the app.
- Add your teen as a friend on Snapchat by searching for their username.
- Open Family Center (find how to access it here), and go through the set-up process.
- When you get to the invitation screen, select your teen’s name (either by selecting from a list of your recent friends or by searching for them), and tap ‘Send Invitation.’ Sent invitations will appear to your teen as a new direct Chat message from you. Your teen must view and accept the invitation to opt-in to Family Center. Just like a regular conversation on Snapchat, the message will delete either immediately or 24 hours after your teen has viewed it, depending on their settings. So be sure to remind them in-person to accept the invite!
