MEET ME

MEET ME

MINIMUM AGE: 18+
 
WHAT IS IT?
MeetMe helps you to find new people nearby who share your interests and want to chat. This includes video chatting, messaging and streaming. There are 100+ million users on this platform. 

WHAT WE SAY:
Avoid.

• MeetMe says you can "Strike up a text or video chat with someone local who shares your interests. Or you can broadcast yourself out to the world and have the people come to you by streaming on Live". 
• On MeetMe you can... video chat with local people, people nearby and all around the world.
• It's a dating app at the end of the day and never safe for children.
• Yet, worse, it is also a live streaming app which allows users to be tricked, dared and manipulated in to inappropriate things​.
• MeetMe markets the app by saying "It doesn't matter if you're just looking to chat and make friends, looking for a date, or looking for your soulmate - you'll find them on MeetMe. What are you waiting for?" 

SAFETY TIPS TO CONSIDER:

• There are no privacy settings
• Many reports of inappropriate content such as sex, violence, self-harm, suicide and drugs.
  
• Users need to ensure they do not give out personal information​.
• Make sure that children do not use this app.
