Check out these top three apps that are flagged dangerous by many parents and tech experts. As long as you deem it inapproriate for your kids, delete these apps immediately once you see them downloaded on your child's smartphone:
1. Snapchat: In an article published by For Every Mom, this could be a dangerous app because it allows your child to send and receive inappropriate photos from strangers worldwide. This app is popularly used for "sexting." Your child could be exposed to adults who are sexually harassing minors. A lot of teenagers experience cyber-bullying from this app as well.
2. Tinder: Many knows this app as a "hook-up app" because a lot of people are using this to find someone near their area available for dating. Adults should only use this and it is dangerous because sex predators could easily meet up with your child, especially if they are seen just around the area. Pedophiles often love scouting for minors using this app to make them their next victim.
3. Whisper: According to CheckUpNewsRoom, this app makes users post their secrets online. One could post without a name, but the problem is that their area is visible. You could see posts of people who are just a mile away from you and some of them meet up with these strangers eventually to be more intimate with them.
Make no mistake of leaving these apps still downloaded on the phones of your teenagers. Tell other parents so they are aware as well.
