YUBO
MINIMUM AGE: 13
WHAT IS IT?
Designed to do one thing – allow teens to connect and flirt with each other in the style of online dating.
Known as 'Kiddie Tinder'
SAFETY TIPS TO CONSIDER:
Online dating = meeting a stranger
Risk from predators is high as is an app based on hooking up they can interact through fake accounts
No age verification in place so could be used by under 13's
WHAT WE SAY:
Avoid.
Given that Yubo is an app that lets users create a profile, with photos, and swipe through other profiles of users in their local area, and then if they match, they can then chat - we would strongly discourage this app being used by children. Online dating, or similar, can never be safe for children.
