Playbyte

Parents need to know that Playbyte is a tool that allows users to create and upload their own games -- and play the games created by other users on iOS devices. Unlike competitors, the games are single player affairs, so parents don't have to worry about direct interactions with strangers, but the app does have a prominent tab for its Discord server, which will allow users to communicate with other creators (if they have a membership to that service). Because the games are only loosely moderated by the community, there are examples of foul language sneaking into the games. Pop culture also plays a role in game creation, meaning that popular, violent shows (like Squid Game) influence some creators. Read the developer's privacy policy for details on how your (or your kids') information is collected, used, and shared and any choices you may have in the matter, and note that privacy policies and terms of service frequently change.
