Insight is starting a new partnership with Snapchat. Snapchat is an app that allows you to share photos and videos with others online. But unlike Facebook and Instagram, the content isn’t stored permanently. Once it’s viewed, it disappears and becomes irretrievable. If someone would want to save it or take a screenshot, you receive a notification of this.
Since spring 2016, Snapchat consistently ranks as the most important social network for teenagers in the United States. There are over 210 million active Snapchat users. Snapchat is how teens communicate.
The partnership is happening not only to stay updated on emerging trends in social media, but also to ensure that platforms and tools are developed with young users in mind. Read the press release here.

Insight is in California this week, attending Facebook’s international Safety Advisory Board meeting. We’ve been a member of the board for the past 7 years because you can’t work with children and teens successfully without a deep understanding of the environments they use for learning and socializing. The role of the board is to advise the Meta team on safety and well-being risks of next-generation tools. We also get to share information from our experience in Europe and North Africa with board members active in very different parts of the world such as India, Taiwan and Brazil. Insight’s users reap the benefits of our collaboration with Meta, and the support we get as advisors enables us to invest in research and programmes that make our efforts even more effective.
