Monitor Snapchat

Snapchat is built to disappear — MobileTracking helps you see the activity that would otherwise vanish, captured in your dashboard.

Snapchat is designed around disappearing messages, which is exactly why parents worry about it. Content that vanishes by design is content you cannot review later by simply picking up the phone. MobileTracking's Snapchat tracker is built to surface this activity and bring it into your dashboard, so the app's ephemeral nature does not leave you in the dark.

The disappearing design is what makes Snapchat popular with young people, and also what makes it a place where risky exchanges can happen with little trace. For a parent, being able to see Snapchat activity is one of the most reassuring forms of visibility there is, precisely because the app works so hard to hide it. It lets you spot trouble that would otherwise leave no evidence at all.

The Snapchat tracker is part of MobileTracking's social suite, alongside WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Viber and Kik. Captured Snapchat activity sits in the same dashboard as texts, calls and photos, so even fleeting activity becomes part of the bigger picture you can review at your own pace.

Getting more from Snapchat

Because Snapchat is engineered to leave little behind, the value of capturing its activity into a place you control cannot be overstated. Rather than being limited to whatever still happens to be on the phone, you can review what was captured in your dashboard whenever you choose, with the surrounding context of the person's other activity.

Coverage of Snapchat can depend on the device and operating system, since the app changes frequently, so our support team is the best source for confirming exactly what is captured on a specific phone. Combined with the photo tracker and the rest of the social suite, the Snapchat tracker helps make sure that even the most fleeting activity does not go entirely unseen.

Heads up: exact capabilities can vary by device and operating system. Our 24/7 support team can confirm what is available for a specific phone before you buy.
