Whatsapp, day by day, confirms that it is the most popular and used as global instant messaging application. Even in Italy, the service is certainly among the most popular in this area, both on smartphones Android than on iPhone Appleanimated by the operating system iOS. The danger of external competitors, such as telegram, and internal, such as Facebook Messenger, it does not stop making itself heard. However, with the various updates that have occurred over time, the developers have put in place corrections and additions that can significantly improve the user experience.
But there is a detail that not all (perhaps) you know and that, too often, has gone unnoticed in the eyes of those who installed the app on their smartphone or tablet.
To use WhatsApp you must be at least 13 years old
We are willing to bet that most of you have never heard of a similar WhatsApp constraint. Yet, among the conditions of use of the service, this aspect is very clear and specified. To exploit the benefits of this chat it is required that the user has passed at least 13 years of age. Otherwise, theoretically, it would not be possible to use them.
In reality, there are many under 13s who, on a daily basis, stay in touch with friends and relatives using this specific application.
Recall that WhatsApp was, in practice, the first reality able to contrast the classics, and now obsolete, texting. No costs to be incurred for messages sent, except those related to an internet connection.
In principle, the very young users of the aforementioned chat are committing a violation of the guidelines. However, the problem is that the developers do not currently have a valid verification system for the actual user's age. Therefore, the consequence appears logical and inevitable.
Will the minimum age to use WhatsApp rise further?
In light of the premises that we have reported so far, it certainly makes us smile the hypothesis of a possible increase in the minimum age required to make use of WhatsApp. Specifically, it seems that in the future intentions of the developers, there is a willingness to make this threshold coincide with the 16 years.
Right or wrong, it remains the previous doubt: how will it be possible to verify in detail the age of the member? Will a new tool be set up for this purpose? One thing is certain: the band from 13 to 16 years is perhaps one of the most active for WhatsApp.
