In the midst of the back-to-school season, Snapchat is rolling out new updates aimed at educators to increase online safety for teens.

The platform released a teacher guide with an overview of how the platform works, as well as information on how to use Snapchat positively in school communities, along with safety tools and community guidelines the app provides.

The update also includes a feedback form, which allows educators to share their opinions on how the social network is used in their school communities. Additionally, the app is updating its reporting tools, allowing any educator who doesn’t have an account but wants to report a concern on behalf of themselves or others to do so.

Snapchat said these new resources were designed to help schools in their efforts to create safe and supportive environments for students.

In June, the company introduced additional features for teens and has since been launching updates to increase users’ online safety after nine Ontario school boards and two private schools filed a lawsuit against the app, TikTok and Meta in May. The school boards allege that students are experiencing an attention, learning and mental health crisis due to addictive social media use, and they need resources to support new programming and services.

In addition to the new updates for educators, Snapchat is rolling out a native iPad support. Since its launch in 2011, Snapchat had only been available on iPads as an app with large black borders around it. This new update increases the accessibility on iPad’s larger screen, while serving as a testing ground for new features. The news comes after TikTok released an update last year that was designed to take advantage of larger screens, such as those on iPads and tablets.

Snapchat reaches over 90% of 13- to 24-year-olds in over 25 countries, including Canada. It has more than 11 million monthly active users in the country, according to the company.
