WHAT IS IT?
FaceTime allows you to make video and audio calls from your Apple devices using the internet
WHAT WE SAY:
Safe, but discuss safety tips with children.
FaceTime allows you to block someone that is calling you. Just tap on the 'i'; next to their name, scroll down and tap 'block this caller'
This helps the user to stay in control and develop their own resiliency online
Having open, regular conversations with your child will enable you to keep them safe when it comes to making video and audio calls
SAFETY TIPS TO CONSIDER:
Children should only ever speak to people that they know in real life
Recently changed to no longer FaceTime just one person, but now 32 people - remind children of the dangers of talking to strangers
If someone gets hold of your mobile number they can contact you, including strangers
