Snapchat ‘willing to implement’ daily time limits for teens, boss tells BBC

Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel expressed openness to implementing daily time limits for teenage users, according to an interview with the BBC. This stance emerged following a call from Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, for increased regulatory measures on social media platforms. During the conversation, Spiegel believed that capping the amount of time young users could spend on the app could be "an important step forward for the industry."

At the same time, Snap unveiled a series of new features for its upcoming smart glasses, known as Specs. These glasses are equipped with artificial intelligence capabilities that can suggest activities based on users' goals, relationships, and routines. The glasses can display digital elements overlaid onto the real world, and they retail for $2,195 in the US and £1,995 in the UK. However, Spiegel did not provide a timeline for when Snap might implement the time limit feature for teenage users.
