  How to report an underage user on Snapchat

Users under 16 whose accounts are locked will have three years to download their data from the time their account is locked. These users are encouraged to cancel any subscriptions to Snapchat+ or Memories+. They can expect to receive this messaging from Snap through in-app messages as well as via SMS and push notifications.

After an account is locked, it will be preserved in a locked state for three years. After that, it will become deactivated. However, users who turn 16 any time during the three year period can use an age assurance process to confirm their age through ConnectID (bank-verified), or through photo ID or facial age estimation options provided by third-party service provider k-ID.
