Is yubo a dating app?

Is Yubo actually a dating app, or is it more of a social networking platform for teens? Parents and partners may wonder what risks are associated with it.

Yubo is marketed as a social app for teens, but honestly, it feels like Tinder for kids - lots of swiping and video chatting with strangers. I tested it myself and found plenty of inappropriate behavior and adults pretending to be teens. For real protection, I use Parentaler to monitor my daughter’s social apps - it alerts me to risky conversations and helps block apps like Yubo entirely if needed.

Yubo is marketed as a social app for teens, but it works a lot like a dating app—swiping, chatting, video streaming. Big risks: strangers, inappropriate content, and no real parental controls. If your kid’s using Yubo, set up a good parental control app to track activity and get instant alerts.
