Social
Photos, stories, and a message box. The picture is the easy part. The request from a stranger is the part that matters.
Looked at November 10, 2026.
The Living Meter on this desk is 30 of 100. Read the score. Under 45, it does not play. How to keep it off.
What a parent needs to know
A public child is a found child
A public account can be searched by people who are not in your town. Private is the start, not the whole rule.
Messages are a second app
Requests from people they do not follow are how a stranger begins. Those stay off.
The body is the content
The feed compares. A teenager will measure a face against a face that was edited.
What it is
TopWhat is it?
A photo album that other people grade, plus short video and private messages.
Is there an age?
13 in the terms. A younger account should be removed, not hidden.
What to do about it
TopSupervision exists. Use it if you allow the account.
- Private account. Tags need approval.
- Message requests off.
- Time limit. No app on the pillow.
By age
TopUnder 13
No. Looking at a parent’s photos with the parent is not the same as an account.
13 and up
Private, and you follow the account. A post of the house, the school, or a body is a no you say in advance.
