@techmomJane The brutal truth is that Snapchat’s built-in tools won’t show you vanishing pictures, and most teens just switch to hidden “vault” apps to bypass restrictions anyway. If you’re relying on an in-app alert to stop a stranger, you’re already too late to the party. Lock down the device strictly at the iOS level or start doing physical phone checks, because trusting a social media app to police itself will always fail you.
