An App called The Monkey is making the rounds among students in the region. It is a high-risk video chat platform connecting users, often children and teens, with strangers via random, short video calls.
Safety concerns include exposure to explicit content, predatory behavior, and lack of strict age verification, despite a 18+ policy. It is similar to Omegle, often used for quick, anonymous interactions and "pranks".
APPLE DEVICES:
Here is how to block this App on your child's Apple phone:
First, if you haven't already, set up Parental Controls for Apple devices via this link.
Second, to block an App on an Apple device, enable Screen Time in Settings, create a unique passcode, and use Content & Privacy Restrictions to hide built-in apps or set age-based app limits. You can also restrict app downloads, set time limits for specific apps, or use Downtime to limit usage. These settings can be managed remotely via Family Sharing.
ANDROID DEVICES:
Here is how to block this App on your child's Android phone:
