Our colleagues at Qustodio have released a really important report today in Australia called Apps Through The Ages, showcasing what kids today are accessing online, and the impact it's having. Analysing the data of over 19,000 accounts across Australia, the report dives into the trends shaping kids’ online activities in 2024. For parents, educators, and school leaders, these insights are essential to understanding how young people engage with digital platforms and where the risks lie. Some key findings 👇 ❌ 36% of 7-9 year olds are already on X (formerly Twitter). 🕘 Despite age restrictions, 39% of 10-12 year olds use TikTok, spending over 2 hours on the app on average - daily. 🤬 Apps that potentially expose children to pornography, graphic content, and hate speech, such as Reddit, are already among the top 10 apps for under 13s.
