Snapchat updated its Terms of Service effective September 21, 2026, with material changes to age verification, content moderation, and appeals processes. The updated terms now require age verification before account creation and authorize Snapchat to lock or delete accounts if users fail to meet applicable age requirements. The company also revised its content moderation framework to clarify that it reserves the right to review, moderate, or remove content in its sole discretion, and added explicit language stating it will not be liable for content access, review, or deletion actions, while introducing a new appeals process and directing users to external explainers and transparency reports for moderation details.
