Bottom Line

Wickr Me is a messaging app designed to provide users with a more secure, controlled way to send text, video, voice, and picture messages. While this extra security is a good thing in many ways, it may make it easier for your child to keep their online interactions a secret. Additionally, bullying, predators, and age-inappropriate chatting are all risks associated with messaging apps like this, which is why parents should be aware if any child under 18 is using it.

Talking to Your Children

If your child is using Wickr Me, be sure to discuss who they are communicating with and the potential dangers associated with messaging apps. Review our Parent’s Guide section for more information and suggestions.
