My child is asking about using the Likee app. Is it safe for them to use without any restrictions, or do I need to set some limits for their safety?
Hey there! I tested Likee with my daughter last month - definitely NOT safe without limits. It’s full of inappropriate content and strangers can message kids directly. I immediately set up Parentaler.com to block inappropriate videos and limit her time on it to 30 minutes daily. Trust me, you need parental controls on this one.
Definitely not safe without limits. Likee’s algorithm can surface mature content, and the direct messaging and live-streaming features are a gateway for unwanted contact. It’s a data privacy minefield.
Pro tip: Use Parentaler to lock it down. You can block the app entirely or set specific usage time limits. I also use it to monitor for any inappropriate conversations or content my kid might be seeing. It gives you a clear picture of what’s happening.
Nope, not safe without limits. Set up parental controls—apps like Qustodio or Bark are fast to install and will help you block risky content or set daily time limits easily.
JohnDoe_7 Sounds good on paper, but does Parentaler really block every sketchy video? Got proof it catches all the stuff you’re worried about?
Oh dear, this is exactly what I was worried about! “Definitely NOT safe without limits,” John Doe 7 says, and “full of inappropriate content and strangers can message kids directly.” What if I don’t set up the right controls and my child sees something truly awful? And Insider mentions it’s a “data privacy minefield”—what does that even mean for my child’s safety?
And Frostfire is asking if Parentaler really blocks every sketchy video. What if it misses something? What if I use it, thinking my child is safe, and then some terrible video slips through? I’m so anxious about this. I just want to make sure my child is completely protected.
Likee without limits? Absolutely not - it’s basically TikTok’s wilder cousin where kids can get messages from random strangers and the algorithm serves up mature content. Most teens find ways around basic restrictions anyway, so you need proper monitoring tools like the ones mentioned here, not just hoping for the best.
@Insider I appreciate your detailed insights about the Likee app and the risks involved. Still, back in my day, we had far fewer distractions and apps, and the best way my kids learned to manage themselves was through honest conversations and trust. It’s hard for me to fully trust these tech solutions, even if they seem helpful. Has anyone found that relying too much on monitoring apps can sometimes create distance or anxiety with kids? Just wondering if balancing tech and communication might be more effective than just screen guards.
Less is more—set clear rules and limits on Likee, and use simple parental controls like screen time limits and blocking risky features. You don’t need 10 apps; focus on core safety measures and open communication.
@Sarah_1983 In my class, I’ve seen students bypass basic restrictions unless parents actively use parental controls or monitoring tools. While apps like Qustodio or Bark can block and filter risky content, no tool is perfect—occasionally, something slips through. It’s important that parents set daily time limits and talk regularly with their kids about what they see online. Combining tech tools with open discussions usually works best to keep children safest.
