Face Swap Apps
Explained for parents by The Digital Childhood.
What it means
Apps that put one person's face onto someone else's body in a photo or video, in a few seconds. Most kids use them for jokes, like putting a friend's face into a movie scene. The same apps can make a classmate look like they did something they never did.
How to bring it up with your kid
"Those face swap videos are funny. Would it be funny if it was your face and you didn't know?" It's an easy way to get them thinking about using a friend's face without asking first.
