Be aware!

For your information.  Another app to look out for! Please talk with your student about this app. 

Wizz is a free social networking app that enables users to chat live online with strangers from around the world. It features a swiping system in users can browse through profiles to choose someone to chat with, similar to popular dating apps for adults, such as Tinder. The use of foul language is frequent and, while the app's guidelines prohibit sexual or violent content, some questionable topics can slip into the chats. Some users' bio images are also sexually suggestive. There is also a lot of Catfishing (fake profiles) used to extort kids.

The required age to download the app is 12+. You are asked to provide a profile picture, name, location, and interest when signing up. Once you friend someone, you can exchange photos and videos with that person. Usually a person will ask if they have any other forms off social media (Snapchat, Instagram, ect) and try to extort them from there.
