You.com

This app offers an AI companion or open-ended chatbot a child can confide in — the pattern that warrants the closest parental attention.

ParentMode's take

16+ with active parental awareness; not recommended under 16.

You.com is a general-purpose AI assistant with unrestricted web access and broad conversational capability. The 17+ Apple rating reflects potential exposure to crude humor and medical/treatment information; the unrestricted web access means it can surface unfiltered content depending on user queries.

What a parent can do

Data & privacy

Check the app's privacy label on the App Store; assume conversations may be retained or used to improve the model, and review what data the app collects before your child uses it.

Controls

Use device-level parental controls (Screen Time on iOS, Family Link on Android) to limit access and monitor usage; also review any in-app content filters or chat-history settings the app itself offers.

A cautious next step

For younger teens seeking an AI assistant, consider age-gated educational or tutoring apps with clearer content boundaries and transparent data practices.
