Is Wizz Safe for Kids?
Our take
Not recommended for kids
Wizz connects users with strangers, and it has been repeatedly flagged in connection with sextortion of minors. We do not recommend it for children or teens.
What is Wizz?
Wizz is an app for meeting and chatting with new people you do not know, with a swipe-style interface. Connecting kids with strangers is the core function, which is the problem.
The real risks
- Built around contact with strangers.
- Reported use in financial sextortion schemes targeting teens.
- Limited ability to verify who is really on the other side.
What parents can do
- Do not allow it for kids, and block it at the network level.
- If your teen has it, have a calm, shame-free conversation about sextortion and that they can always come to you.
- Make sure they know to never send images to someone they have not met in person.
