Snapchat Updates Family Hub for Safer Teen Use
Home » Top stories » Snapchat Updates Family Hub for Safer Teen Use Snapchat has announced the relaunch of its Family Safety Hub. The updated platform aims to help families navigate the app with more confidence and clarity. The new version features improved guidance, simplified access to resources, and inclusive tools that support both parents and teens. Snapchat revealed that the update addresses the evolving digital safety needs of families. As part of the initiative, Snapchat hosted an educational session. The event was conducted in collaboration with the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority and life coach Hala Kazim. The session aimed to educate parents, creators, and media about Snapchat's family-focused safety features. The revamped Family Center section now includes clear instructions on using in-app tools. These features allow parents to see who their teen is in contact with, without reading message content. This approach helps balance digital safety and user privacy. Snapchat reported that the platform has shifted its language to be more inclusive. Previously called the 'Parents Site,' it is now named the 'Family Hub.' This change reflects a shared responsibility between parents and teens in maintaining safe digital habits. Fatima Al Melhi, Director of Special Projects at the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority, emphasized the importance of child protection. She stated, 'We are working together with Snapchat and other Children's Digital Wellbeing Pact members to ensure safe digital environments.' Jawaher Abdelhamid, Head of Public Policy, MEA at Snap Inc., added, 'User safety has always been a priority for Snapchat. The Family Safety Hub demonstrates our commitment to empowering families while respecting young users' privacy.' Snapchat also revealed the addition of new features to the Hub: A dedicated FAQ section A reorganized feature overview with tab-by-tab guidance Snapchat confirmed that downloadable tools and resources are now available online. These were previously accessible only at Snap-hosted events. Videos from Snap's YouTube channel have also been embedded and will be updated quarterly. The content on the Family Hub is presented in a clear and accessible format. The goal is to help families have informed conversations about digital wellbeing. Earlier this year, Snapchat was named a key member of The Pact. This is a UAE-based digital wellbeing committee led by the Digital Wellbeing Council and the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority. The Pact brings together government entities, tech companies, and telecom providers to support a safer digital experience for youth in the UAE.

Surprise witness in Idaho student murders says she 'saw Bryan there' on deadly night
A surprise second eyewitness has emerged in the Idaho student murders case and could testify against Bryan Kohberger at trial later this year. A woman claiming to be the Idaho DoorDash driver who dropped off food to victim Xana Kernodle minutes before a home invasion stabbing spree killed her, her boyfriend, and two roommates, has emerged as an unexpected eyewitness to testify at Kohberger's upcoming murder trial, and she told police she saw him at the scene. The purported driver revealed herself in a police bodycam video from an alleged DUI stop taken in September 2024 and posted weeks later to the YouTube account, Officer Axon, which publishes law enforcement videos obtained through public records requests. Key Figures Brom Bryan Kohberger's Pennsylvania Youth Summoned To Idaho For Student Murders Trial Web sleuths picked up on it, and her connection to the Kohberger case was reported in the Idaho Statesman Tuesday. "I have to testify in a big murder case here... because I'm the DoorDash driver, so yeah," she says in the video. Read On The Fox News App An officer asks which case. "The murder case with the college girls," she says. "I'm the DoorDash driver. I saw Bryan there. I parked right next to him." She is not named in redacted court documents and may suffer from credibility issues after police in Pullman, Washington, accused her of driving while high on drugs. Bryan Kohberger Defense Suggests 'Alternate Perpetrators' In Idaho Murders, Joining Infamous Legal Strategy DoorDash is among dozens of companies that police sought information from during their investigation, Fox News Digital has previously reported. Kernodle received a delivery less than 10 minutes before the attack, which happened just after 4 a.m. on Nov. 13, 2022. GET REAL-TIME UPDATES AT THE FOX NEWS True Crime Hub A surviving roommate, who is identified only by her initials in court documents, told police early on in the investigation that she came face to face with a masked man with bushy eyebrows before he left the house without attacking her. Follow The Fox True Crime Team On X The attack also killed Ethan Chapin, who was Kernodle's 20-year-old boyfriend, and two 21-year-old roommates, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves. All four were University of Idaho students, and all four suffered multiple stab wounds from a large knife, according to authorities. Police found a Ka-Bar sheath under Mogen's body that prosecutors allege has Kohberger's DNA on it. Police allege they linked a suspect vehicle and Kohberger's phone pings to the scene as well. The 30-year-old suspect, who is from Pennsylvania, was studying for a Ph.D. in criminology at Washington State University, just a 10-mile drive from the crime scene. Sign Up To Get The True Crime Newsletter A judge entered not guilty pleas on Kohberger's behalf at his arraignment in May 2023. He faces four counts of first-degree murder and one of felony burglary.
