ParentMode's take
16+ with active parental awareness; 13–15 only with close co-use
Captions uses AI to edit and caption videos, requiring understanding of how AI processes content and metadata, plus judgment about what to share. The 17+ rating reflects complexity and potential for misuse of generated content rather than safety hazards, but younger teens may not yet assess these risks independently.

What a parent can do
Data & privacy
Check the app's privacy label on the App Store; assume any video, audio, or text you input may be retained or used to improve the AI model.
Controls
Use device-level parental controls (Screen Time on iOS, Family Link on Android) to monitor app use time, and review the app's own settings for data sharing and account options.
A cautious next step
If your teen is new to AI tools, co-watching the editing process and discussing how AI decisions are made can help build critical judgment before independent use.
