App Overview
Bitmoji is a popular mobile application that allows users to create their own personalized cartoon avatar, called a "Bitmoji," which can be used in messaging apps, social media, and more. The app is developed by Snap Inc., the company behind Snapchat, and is available for free on both iOS and Android devices.
The Bitmoji app is generally considered safe for kids to use, as long as they are using it appropriately and under adult supervision. However, like any social media or messaging app, there are potential dangers that parents and caregivers should be aware of.
One potential danger is that the app allows users to create custom stickers and emojis that can be used to communicate with others. While this can be a fun way to express oneself, it can also be used to bully or harass others. Parents should talk to their children about appropriate online behavior and monitor their use of the app to ensure they are not engaging in any inappropriate behavior.
Another potential danger of Bitmoji is the use of location data. Like many other apps, Bitmoji may collect and use location data to provide personalized features, such as personalized recommendations or weather updates. While this data can be helpful, it can also be a privacy concern if the app is collecting more information than it needs to. Parents should review the app's privacy policy and make sure they understand how their child's information is being used.
Finally, the app contains in-app purchases that allow users to buy additional stickers and accessories for their Bitmoji. Parents should be aware of these purchases and set up parental controls to prevent their child from making any unauthorized purchases.
In summary, the Bitmoji app can be a fun and safe way for kids to express themselves online, as long as they are using it appropriately and under adult supervision. Parents should be aware of the potential dangers of the app, including the use of custom stickers and emojis, location data, and in-app purchases, and monitor their child's use of the app to ensure they are using it safely.
Using Bark to Manage Screen Time
Bark gives you the ability to decide when and if your child can use Bitmoji. This could look like “only in the evenings”, “just for 30 minutes a day”, or “never” if you want to give them a break for a period of time.
In addition to screen time, Bark also empowers you to block websites, create custom screen time schedules, and track location.
