Chegg Study
ParentMode's take
13+ with active parental awareness; 16+ for independent use
Chegg Study is a homework-help platform that includes AI-powered tutoring and answer explanations. The core risk is not safety design, but maturity: younger teens may use it to bypass learning rather than supplement it, and the app's tutoring features require judgment about academic integrity that varies by school.

What a parent can do
Data & privacy
Check the app's privacy label on the App Store; assume any tutor chat or homework queries may be logged and could inform the AI's training over time.
Controls
Use device-level Screen Time (iOS) or Family Link (Android) to set app time limits and review usage patterns; check the app's own account settings for notification and data-sharing options.
A cautious next step
If the goal is homework support, a librarian-recommended or school-approved resource (often free through your school) may have clearer academic integrity guardrails.
