Wizz - Make new friends

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Wizz - Make new friends is a social media app focused on connecting strangers with common interests. It's primarily a friend-finding chat app, allowing a pair of individuals or groups to talk and exchange gifs, pictures, and videos. The use of foul language is frequent and, while the app's guidelines prohibit sexual or violent content, some questionable topics can slip into the chats. Some users' bio images are also sexually suggestive. Wizz uses an age verification system to put users of a similar age in the same feed, but it doesn't work reliably. Minors and adults frequently appear in the same space and can be connected if they accept each others' friend requests. While Wizz is a perfectly acceptable, albeit no frills, social networking platform for adults looking to connect with each other, it definitely doesn't feel like a safe virtual space for anyone under 18 years of age.
