Snapchat is open to introducing time limits for teenage users, chief executive Evan Spiegel has said, describing the measure as an important step for the technology industry.
Mr Spiegel made the comments in an interview with the BBC. The statement indicates that Snapchat is willing to consider limits on the amount of time teenagers spend using the platform, although no specific proposal, timeframe or details were given.
The comments come amid continuing discussion about how social media services should be used by young people. However, the available information does not set out what form any time limits might take or whether Snapchat has begun implementing a policy.
Mr Spiegel said introducing such limits would represent “an important step forward for the industry”. No further details about possible changes were provided.
