Chegg Study
ParentMode's take
13+ with active parental awareness; 16+ for independent use.
Chegg Study is primarily a homework-help platform with AI tutoring features. The core risk is not the app itself, but patterns of dependency on AI for answers rather than learning, and potential for use during tests—maturity and academic integrity matter more than age.

What a parent can do
Data & privacy
Review Chegg's App Store privacy label carefully; assume any homework questions, explanations, and chat interactions may be retained and used to improve the AI system.
Controls
Use device-level parental controls (Screen Time on iOS, Family Link on Android) to monitor usage patterns and time spent; check Chegg's in-app settings for account restrictions.
A cautious next step
Consider pairing use with offline textbooks, teacher office hours, or peer study groups to anchor learning in direct human interaction rather than AI-mediated answers.
