Parents Guide to WhatsApp

Social media platforms and messaging apps like WhatsApp are not just for adults and teenagers anymore. To use WhatsApp, you must be 13 years old. However, increasingly younger children (tweens aged 7-12) are using it. The easy-to-use interface, free messaging, and multimedia-sharing capabilities are very appealing to younger children. But as much as it can foster connection, WhatsApp also comes with dangers that many parents may not be fully aware of.
