Lemon8 is a new social media app created by ByteDance, the creators of the wildly popular TikTok app. Designed to be a lifestyle app, Lemon8 is like a mixture of Instagram and Pinterest. It's photo-heavy but allows users to share recipes, outfits, travel guides, and more.

Users must meet the minimum age requirements to use Lemon8 (as stipulated in our Terms of Services). We remove their accounts from our platform when underage account holders are identified.

Bottom Line: is Lemon8 safe for kids? Too much exposure, too little controls. With such a lack of privacy on this platform, on top of its connection to ByteDance, it's simply not worth the potential risks. For now, use at your own risk.

Like Instagram influencers, Lemon8 influencers will probably be paid by a brand or company to wear their clothes or promote their products to sell a specific aesthetic or lifestyle to audiences. TikTok creators typically have a niche that they play into to engage their audience.
