An app for finding and chatting with new people rather than only established friends. Wizz’s current safety hub says its minimum age was raised to 16; the US iOS listing is rated 18+. Those are different restrictions, not an invitation to choose the lower one.

The essentials
Age, contact, spending
Minimum age
Wizz’s safety hub states a minimum of 16. The checked US App Store rating is 18+; obey the applicable store and local requirements.
Age check
Wizz says it uses Yoti facial age estimation, birthdate checks and ID checks when needed, plus profile-photo consistency checks.
Who can contact teens
Discovery is designed to introduce unfamiliar people. Wizz says interactions are separated into age groups; a safety claim does not guarantee every user’s honesty.
Disappearing content
Do not treat conversations or photos as guaranteed to disappear. Recipients can capture them regardless of the account’s moderation rules.
Public content
A discoverable profile exposes selected photos and information to the eligible audience. Avoid school, address and exact routine details.
Spending
Wizz Gold subscriptions and paid discovery features monetize attention. The checked iOS listing offers weekly and monthly Gold options; read renewals and the actual checkout rather than paying for a promise of friendship.

Review Wizz’s safety and reporting tools
Read the official Safety Hub, complete age checks honestly and review blocking/reporting in the actual conversation or profile. No dedicated linked-parent dashboard is independently confirmed here; use device limits and regular check-ins.

Privacy
What gets shared
Age estimation involves sensitive identity processes. Read the safety hub’s explanation of partners and review what profile information is shown.
Safety
What parents should know
- Wizz’s current official hub says its minimum age was raised to 16 and describes age assurance and moderation partners.
- Verification is not a reason to send intimate images, move to another app immediately or meet someone without a safe plan. Never treat company guarantees as independent proof of zero risk.
Safeguards described here are reported by the company in its own materials (see Wizz: official safety, eligibility or parent guidance (opens in new tab)). They are not independent safety guarantees, and Lowkey has not tested them.
