Is Yubo Safe for Kids?
Yubo is a 'make new friends' live-streaming and swiping app marketed to teens, which means it's designed to connect kids with strangers — a significant grooming risk. Despite age-verification efforts, we don't recommend it for children. If a teen insists, they must never share location, school, or contact details.
Our recommended age: Not recommended for under 18
Top risks parents should know
- Core purpose is meeting strangers via swiping and live video.
- High grooming and catfishing risk despite age checks.
- Live streams can expose location and personal details.
How to make Yubo safer
- Strongly reconsider — the app's design connects kids to strangers.
- Never share location, school, or last name.
- Keep an ongoing, open conversation about who they talk to.
