Chat Apps allow users to message with friends, send photo, videos, voice notes or video calls. This allows children and young people to keep in contact and have private conversations with their family and friends at any given time, but how familiar are you with the effectiveness of the current privacy features?

The Safer Schools NI App’s ‘Chat Apps’ page lists the key features you should be aware of if the child or young people in your care use the apps, including disappearing messages, privacy settings and how to handle cyberbullying situations.
