What to do

Not recommended for under 13. Watch closely ages 13–15—audio rooms can cover any topic with minimal moderation, and your teen can be contacted by strangers. Fine for 16+ with awareness that content is live and unpredictable.

What it actually is

Clubhouse is a live audio social platform where users join chat rooms hosted by other users. You can listen passively, speak if invited, or host your own room. It's designed to let people meet, learn, and socialize through real-time voice conversation without needing to be on camera.

Clubhouse offers limited built-in parental controls. You can block specific users and mute notifications, but there's no content filter or room-type restriction. Privacy settings allow you to make your profile private (so only approved followers can see you), but this doesn't prevent strangers from inviting you to rooms or messaging you. Check your teen's following and room history regularly; consider using device-level Screen Time limits to cap usage.
