Picsart AI Photo Video Editor
At first look, parents may think this app is just for editing photos but it has a social networking element that allows users to share their photos with an online community. Many users are sharing pornographic images of themselves or offering to share nude photos with other users via this app, Kik, and Snapchat. While reviewing this app, we found minors sharing inappropriate images of themselves. We have also found adults following and communicating with these minors. This app allows search by username, hashtag, or image name, making it very easy to find inappropriate material. The commenting feature carries a risk of bullying, as well. Because of these risks, this app is not appropriate for minors to use.
This app is very popular, so it may be difficult for your child to understand why they are not allowed to use it. However, it only takes a moment for an exchange between your child and a stranger to become dangerous. Try asking your child why they like using this app. If they like to create interesting photos with text and filters, there are plenty of safer options for this. If they like to share photos with strangers, you should explain to them why this is dangerous. If your child has already been using this app to share photos with strangers, you will want to check their activity. Depending on what you find, you may want to involve law enforcement to protect your child.
