Your child doesn't need a phone number to sign up for this app. No logs. No message history. No account tied to anything real. It's called Zangi, and it's not on most parents' radar because it's not one of the big names. That's exactly the point, and exactly the risk.

🎤 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 36s

"There's probably an app called Zangie on your kids phone right now that you've likely never heard of. Doesn't need a phone number to sign up and keeps zero record of any conversation. Three actions for you as parents. Number one, check your child's phone for apps you don't recognise. Not just the big name ones, Zangie's icon is a simple blue and white speech bubble. Number two, ask why they need an app that doesn't ask for a phone number. There's usually an instant answer, but it's worth hearing it. And number three, if they are using it, talk about who they're actually speaking to, since anonymity cuts both ways for everyone in this conversation."
