We trust them and we think you should, too! They’re constantly looking for ways to dig further into apps like Marco Polo, to alert parents of anything problematic. Now What? Have you Heard of Bark?Īre you interested in having greater insight into the social media platforms that your kids are using? Bark is one of the best platforms we’ve tested. We just haven’t found much evidence to support the assertion. A few users have speculated that Marco Polo “listens” to the Polos and then sells user data based on things that are mentioned. Similar to Netflix Party, a new social way to watch movies with friends, just make sure your kid isn’t sharing their Marco Polo account link with complete strangers (common sense, right?!). Yes, we believe that Marco Polo is low-risk and most kids should be able to handle it.
There are a few toggles that can decrease the number of notification. Way too many notifications, so turn them down.

The app might spam your contacts if you’re not careful. **Do not tap “Allow Contact Access” unless you want to risk Marco Polo blasting your entire contact list with notifications (which it has been known to do – see below). Tap “Add from Contacts” to add people one at a time.Tap “Chats” in the bottom menu of the app.

The app can be used by both Apple and Android families, which makes it attractive to groups of friends who have both platforms. In other words, the Polos waiting to be viewed are from your friends/contacts. There doesn’t seem to be a way for strangers to access you. The app is fun! And, pretty low-risk from our limited testing. What do parents need to know about Marco Polo? Similar to the call-response childhood pool game, the Marco Polo app encourages quick, bite-sized, “call-response” conversations with the people you love.ĪPP Store rating: 4+ (no objectionable material) Unlike Snapchat, the videos don’t disappear, which allows you to keep a running record of your conversations. The app borrows Snapchat-like functionalities with face filters and fun ways to draw on yourself prior to initiating the video chat. In fact, one of their marketing statements is, “Bye-bye phone tag and awkward voicemails…and hello Marco Polo!” This app allows you to send quick video messages reminiscent of the NEXTEL phones of the early 2000’s, but in video format. The Marco Polo Video Walkie Talkie app might signal the end to actually making phone calls. In the world of COVID-19, Marco Polo is making a massive comeback, enabling people to feel close while practicing #socialdistancing.
