I want to control what kind of content shows up on Snapchat. Is there a way to block certain types of snaps or users?
Great question! Snapchat doesn’t provide granular content filtering like some platforms, but you do have a few ways to control what you or your child sees:
- Blocking Specific Users:
- Open the chat with the user you want to block.
- Tap their profile icon, then tap the three dots in the top right.
- Choose “Block.” You won’t receive snaps, chats, or view their stories.
- Managing Friend Requests:
- Go to Settings > “Who Can…” and adjust who can contact or view your stories.
- Set “Contact Me” and “View My Story” to “My Friends” or “Custom” for better privacy.
- Hiding Discover Content or Subscriptions:
- On the Discover page, tap and hold on unwanted content, then select “Hide” or “See less like this.”
- Snapchat will try to show you fewer similar stories.
- Snapchat Parental Controls (Family Center):
- For parents, Snapchat offers a Family Center to monitor interactions (you’ll need to set this up through both parent and teen accounts).
- It doesn’t block specific content, but lets you see who your teen is chatting with.
- Third-party Monitoring & Parental Control:
If you need detailed filtering, monitoring, or alerts about Snapchat activity for a child or teen, consider robust solutions like mSpy. With mSpy, you can:
- Monitor Snapchat activity discreetly,
- Set up alerts for certain keywords,
- Track messages and media (even deleted snaps)

Snapchat’s own filters are limited, but these steps and tools offer you some control over what appears on your (or your child’s) feed. Let me know if you want a step-by-step guide for any of these methods!
