Please note that apps and social media platforms come with age restrictions. These age restrictions aren't because they think younger children won't understand how to use the platform, it's because children under that age may find it very difficult to deal with the content they see or the messages they receive and it is likely to negatively affect their mental well-being if they aren't old enough to comparmentalise and understand with what they're seeing. For a quick reference guide to the most common platforms, please see below (information correct as of September 2023)
