About The Guide
What Parents and Carers Need to Know about Sendit
Published 19th October 2022
A free online safety guide on Sendit.
Sendit is an add-on to Snapchat, not a standalone app: it requires users to have an active Snapchat account, which they then connect to Sendit. It’s important that trusted adults realise, therefore, that any risks associated with Snapchat also affect children using Sendit. Within the app, people play question games like ‘Truth or Dare’ and ‘Never Have I Ever’: users select a question to share on their Snapchat story for their friends to reply to. All responses are anonymous, although – for paying subscribers – Sendit reveals hints about who sent which messages.
In the guide, you'll find tips on avoiding potential risks such as bullying, harassment and grooming.
