Snap Inc. is a technology company that believes the camera presents the greatest opportunity to improve the way people live and communicate. Snapchat is an alternative to traditional social media — a visual messaging app that helps enhance relationships with friends, family, and the world. That’s why Snapchat opens directly to the camera, not a content feed, and focuses on connecting people who are already friends in real life. Snapchat empowers people to express themselves and have fun with friends without the pressure to grow a following or compete for likes.
July 2023: Snap Inc., the parent company of Snapchat, joined the Inspired Internet Pledge as a Signatory.
Feb 2024: Released year two of their Digital Well-Being Index research. Year three research is currently underway.
Jun 2024: Launched a new suite of tools that includes expanded in-app warnings, enhanced friending protections, simplified location-sharing, and blocking improvements — all designed to reinforce authentic friend relationships.
Snap Inc./Snapchat pledges to:
- Contribute to and/or actively engage in third-party research related to the Pledge principles
- Participate in Pledge events with other signatories and advisors
