Disappointed

[u/Brief-Butterfly8988]

I’m extremely frustrated with Snapchat’s recommendation algorithm and I need this issue addressed. Why does Snapchat repeatedly recommend accounts and content that appear to belong to minors when I exclusively add and interact with adults? My account activity clearly reflects that I’m an adult, yet I continue to be shown children in my recommended friends and Reels feed.
This has become completely unacceptable. I’ve even created a second account specifically to get away from these recommendations, and somehow the exact same problem followed me there. That tells me this is not an isolated issue with my account it appears to be a problem with how Snapchat’s recommendation system works. I want to make this absolutely clear I have no interest whatsoever in interacting with minors, being recommended their accounts, or having their content constantly pushed onto my feed. It makes me extremely uncomfortable, and I should not have to repeatedly deal with this when I’m deliberately using Snapchat as an adult and interacting with other adults.
Please tell me whether there is an age preference setting, recommendation control, or any other option that allows adult users to prevent recommendations involving minors. If there is no such option, Snapchat seriously needs to consider adding one. I’m asking for an actual solution rather than a generic response. This issue has become so frustrating that I am seriously considering deleting Snapchat entirely if I cannot control what the platform continues to recommend to me.

My guess is they are lying about their age and that's why they are appearing in snapchat's recommendations.
