Glide - Live Video Messenger

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Glide - Live Video Messenger is a photo and video app that allows friends to communicate through live video interactions in addition to voice messaging, text, and photos. Users have the option to tap the video icon to record and instantly share live videos or tap and hold the video icon to preview before sending. Users have the option to message individuals or create group chats of up to fifty people. While using the app, teens will be able to see which friends are active or their last active date. Users will see confirmation when videos and messages are sent, as well as confirmation that friends have viewed messages. The app also offers the option to share location with friends and the option to activate a passcode lock feature that restricts access to the app and message history for those without the code. Families should explore the risks and benefits location sharing and private messaging pose to kids and teens and should use with caution. The app offers no safety measures other than the option to block users. 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.
