Wondering which apps you should be worried about most? Here's a list of the 5 apps parents block the most using OurPact, and why...

Picaboo

Picaboo is a lesser-known, SnapChat-style app popular for private photo sharing. Known among kids and teens as the 'anti-Facebook' app, Picaboo destroys shared pictures after 3 days.

App Store

By setting the App Store to ‘Always Blocked’ your children will need to ask permission to install new apps – giving you a chance to do your research and stay involved in their online activities.
