What to do

Not appropriate for any age.

If you just found it on their phone

Before anything is deleted, screenshot the messages and the other person's username and profile — that is the evidence if this needs reporting. If there is a sexual image of a child, don't save or forward it; report it to the CyberTipline.
Have a calm conversation first — ask how they heard about it
Explain clearly that the app connects them with strangers, not friends from school
Delete the app together
Check their contacts for unknown numbers added around the same time
Ask if they shared their phone number, location, or photos with anyone on the app

What it actually is

Wizz is a social networking app that connects teens with complete strangers based on age and location. Unlike apps where kids connect with people they already know, Wizz is specifically designed for meeting strangers — adults included. It has been linked to numerous predatory incidents and child exploitation cases. There are no meaningful parental controls and no way to verify who your child is actually talking to.
