Snapchat is a popular social media app where users can share photos and videos that vanish after a few seconds. While it can be a fun way to stay connected with friends, it can also be a distraction and even a danger for children.

This will give you the necessary permissions to control certain device functions, including app blocking.To enable device administrator, go to “Settings” on your Android device, then select “Security.” Look for “Device administrators” and tap on it. You should see a list of apps that have device administrator access. Find “Android Device Manager” and make sure the box next to it is checked.
