It encrypts all personal info to keep your child\u2019s identity safe, and it has a special system for adding contacts to make it very difficult for strangers to add or contact children, as well as a block list to block any spammers or suspicious people. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, the app allows users to scan a QR code to quickly add friends or family members.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Is\">Is It Safe for Kids?<\/h2>\n<p>Safety is the No. 1 concern for many parents when it comes to which apps their kids can use. How safe is JusTalk Kids? It does have some decent safety features and design quirks to help keep young users safe.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, all communications on the app are <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">always end-to-end<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> encrypted, which helps to ensure that personal information won\u2019t be leaked or lost. In addition, there\u2019s the aforementioned block list, so parents and kids alike can block anyone they don\u2019t want to speak to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plus, in order to add someone to your friends list, they need to know either your number or your JusTalk ID<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or scan your QR code. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have to approve all new contacts, so you can easily reject anyone whom you don\u2019t know or who seems suspicious.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"What2\">What Are the Risks?<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_20344\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20344\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-20344\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2021\/05\/kiberbulling-8.jpg\" alt=\"justalk kids - safe messenger\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-20344\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sylvie Bouchard\/Shuttertock<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Despite having some smart safety features and elements, this app does have some weaknesses that prevent it from being considered a truly safe video call app for children. These risks include:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left; width: 100%;\">\n<li><strong>Unwanted Contact: <\/strong>Even though JusTalk has a system in place to try to stop strangers from contacting your children, there&#8217;s still a risk of unwanted messages and contacts from people your child doesn&#8217;t know. Strangers can guess or access your child&#8217;s ID or number and try to speak with them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cyberbullying: <\/strong>A lot of apps are rife with <a id=\"readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/findmykids.org\/blog\/en\/effects-of-cyberbullying\">cyberbullying<\/a> among children and teens, and an app like JusTalk can be used by bullies to intimidate, abuse, and harass their victims. Kids may receive unwanted calls or mean messages from classmates or other kids they know, for example.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Errors: <\/strong>Unfortunately, this app has suffered from some serious encryption errors in the past. In 2022, a major security lapse was revealed in the app, and millions of its messages were found to have leaked, potentially letting strangers around the world read through entire conversations that users had been having.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"highlight_PastelYellow\">Related: <a id=\"readmore\" href=\"https:\/\/findmykids.org\/blog\/en\/social-media-apps-for-kids\">Safe Social Media Apps for Kids<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"Pros\">Pros<\/h3>\n<p>The pros of the app include:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left; width: 100%;\">\n<li>Easy and fun for children of various ages to use<\/li>\n<li>Let kids keep in touch with their friends, classmates, and family members<\/li>\n<li>A decent level of security and privacy protection<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Includes features like Play Zone, Walkie Talkie, and a digital scrapbook<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supports encrypted text for private communication<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"Cons\">Cons<\/h3>\n<p>On the downside, the negative factors of this app are:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left; width: 100%;\">\n<li>Still not as safe as it could be, in terms of protecting children from grooming or predators<\/li>\n<li>Like any social app, can be used irresponsibly for bullying and so on<\/li>\n<li>Has a risk of possible addiction or overuse among children<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lacks time limit controls for usage without external parental apps<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">May include in-app purchases, which could lead to unexpected costs if not monitored<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"Ways\">Ways to Keep Your Child Safe on JusTalk Kids and Online<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_50394\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a  rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/kids360.onelink.me\/ykI8?pid=content_team&amp;c=en&amp;af_channel=blog&amp;af_adset=article&amp;af_ad=justalk-kids&amp;af_sub1=banner\"\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-50394\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-50394\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2024\/08\/Banner-Kids360-EN-3-1024x683.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2024\/08\/Banner-Kids360-EN-3-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2024\/08\/Banner-Kids360-EN-3-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2024\/08\/Banner-Kids360-EN-3-150x100.png 150w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2024\/08\/Banner-Kids360-EN-3-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2024\/08\/Banner-Kids360-EN-3-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2024\/08\/Banner-Kids360-EN-3-808x539.png 808w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2024\/08\/Banner-Kids360-EN-3-392x261.png 392w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2024\/08\/Banner-Kids360-EN-3-1232x821.png 1232w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2024\/08\/Banner-Kids360-EN-3.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-50394\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Kids360 app<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Parents who want to make sure that their kids stay safe on JusTalk Kids should ensure that they\u2019re fully aware of the features and functions of the app, and don\u2019t simply let children use it without any kind of supervision or guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, teach children about using the app responsibly, ask them to let you know if any strangers try to speak with them on the app, and discuss cyberbullying and what your child should do if they feel bullied online.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, moms and dads can also make use of trusted parental safety apps, like <a id=\"readmore\"  rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/kids360.onelink.me\/ykI8?pid=content_team&amp;c=en&amp;af_channel=blog&amp;af_adset=article&amp;af_ad=justalk-kids&amp;af_sub1=text\"\">Kids360<\/a>.

It\u2019s good to see a big social brand putting in the effort to make a kid-friendly version of its app. It has some handy safety features, but it still isn\u2019t perfect. It needs some improvements before it can truly be considered safe, and parents still need to exercise caution if they let their kids use this particular video calling app.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"FAQs\">FAQs<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_43040\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43040\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-43040\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.findmykids.org\/2023\/03\/shutterstock_303620456-1.jpg\" alt=\"justalk kids review\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-43040\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ground Picture\/Shutterstock.com<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Is JusTalk safe for kids?<\/h3>\n<p>The standard version of the app is not recommended for children, nor is it considered safe for children to use. Instead, kids should opt for the kids&#8217; version, which is specifically designed for young users.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you have to pay for JusTalk Kids?<\/h3>\n<p>No, the app is completely free, just like the adult version.<\/p>\n<h3>How much does JusTalk Kids cost?<\/h3>\n<p>The app is free to download and use for its basic features, though you can purchase an extended subscription with additional features, such as parental controls. These prices range from $3.99 to $39.99 per month.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the age limit for JusTalk Kids?<\/h3>\n<p>The app is recommended for children 13 and older, but technically, there\u2019s no set minimum age. Younger kids can use the app, which means it\u2019s up to parents to decide what age and limits make the most sense for their family.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference between JusTalk and JusTalk Kids?<\/h3>\n<p>JusTalk Kids is designed with kids in mind, while JusTalk is mainly aimed at adult users. The kid\u2019s version comes with additional security features to keep children safe, along with fun additions like the option to \u201cdoodle\u201d on images.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference between JusTalk Family and JusTalk?<\/h3>\n<p>JusTalk is the main app designed for general users, including teens and adults, with full video calling, messaging, and sharing features. JusTalk Family is a separate version aimed at families who want to stay connected more easily. It includes family-focused features like shared calendars, group calls, and activity sharing, making it more convenient for organizing family life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 10px; font-weight: 100; font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">The picture on the front page: igor moskalenko\/Shutterstock.com<\/p>\n\t\t<div class=\"wpulike wpulike-default \" ><div class=\"wp_ulike_general_class wp_ulike_is_not_liked\"><button type=\"button\"\n\t\t\t\t\taria-label=\"Like Button\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-ulike-id=\"46241\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-ulike-nonce=\"2dc4cca6f1\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-ulike-type=\"likeThis\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-ulike-template=\"wpulike-default\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-ulike-display-likers=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-ulike-disable-pophover=\"0\"\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"wp_ulike_btn wp_ulike_put_image wp_likethis_46241\"><\/button><\/div><\/div>\n\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are many different safe video chat apps out there nowadays, and JusTalk is one&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":46251,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"layf_related_links":[""],"layf_exclude_from_feed":["1"],"classic-editor-remember":["classic-editor"],"_edit_lock":["1771339204:1"],"_edit_last":["1"],"mpulseenable_meta_value":["no"],"yzcategory_meta_value":["\u0414\u043e\u043c"],"yzrating_meta_value":["\u041d\u0435\u0442 (\u043d\u0435 \u0434\u043b\u044f \u0432\u0437\u0440\u043e\u0441\u043b\u044b\u0445)"],"yzrssenabled_meta_value":["no"],"_s2mail":["yes"],"\u0430\u0432\u0442\u043e\u0440":["\u0412\u0430\u0441\u0438\u043b\u0438\u0439 \u0421\u043c\u0438\u0440\u043d\u043e\u0432"],"_\u0430\u0432\u0442\u043e\u0440":["field_5e33cab3984d1"],"\u0444\u043e\u0442\u043e":[""],"_\u0444\u043e\u0442\u043e":["field_5e33cbc1984d2"],"hide-in-popular":[""],"_hide-in-popular":["field_5d0c8a5b4fde2"],"_aioseo_title":["JusTalk Kids \u2014 Safe Video Chat [REVIEW] | Findmykids"],"_aioseo_description":["Is JusTalk Kids a safe app for kid-friendly video calls?
