[ad_1] A new set of parental controls to help limit how users contact minors on Snapchat is in development, the company has announced. Snapchat said the controls would restrict its Quick Add feature to limit adult strangers from adding minors as friends on the app. The feature is designed to protect users between 13 and 17 years and is part of the company’s moves to combat fentanyl and drug-related content. Snapchat also said it had been working on improving systems to detect drug-related content and assisting law enforcement agencies in their probes. “…we have absolutely zero tolerance for drug dealing on Snapchat,” Snapchat said in a blog post on Tuesday. “We are continuing to develop new measures to keep our community safe on Snapchat, and have made significant operational improvements over the past year toward our goal of eradicating drug dealers from our platform.” Also Read | Oppo Reno 7 5G, Reno 7 Pro 5G to launch in India soon, company confirms Snapchat explained that it had added the new safeguard feature to Quick Add that suggests friends on the app. Adult strangers will see a minor’s profile in Quick Add only if they have a certain number of common friends in common.
