Is Badoo Premium Safe for Kids?
Age rating is set by App Store, not by Unstar. This page explains it and adds what parents report in reviews. Not affiliated with Badoo Software Ltd.
What Badoo Premium's age rating means
The App Store gives Badoo Premium an official 17+ rating, so the store considers it unsuitable for children. That usually reflects mature themes, chat with strangers, suggestive content, or gambling-style mechanics. For a child or younger teen, treat this as a clear caution.
Things for parents to check
- As a Social Networking app, Badoo Premium can put your child in contact with strangers or user-generated content that is not moderated in real time. This is the biggest supervision concern for younger users.

Badoo Premium for kids: frequently asked questions
Is Badoo Premium safe for kids?
Badoo Premium carries an official age rating of 17+ on the App Store, which means it is not designed for children. It is a real, listed app, but the store itself flags it for a mature audience. If a younger child wants it, the rating alone is a strong reason to say no or to supervise closely.
What age rating does Badoo Premium have?
The App Store rates Badoo Premium as 17+. This is the store's own content rating, set from the app's features and content, not our opinion. Use it as the starting point for whether it fits your child's age.
Can my child use Badoo Premium safely?
If you decide to allow it, use device parental controls: Screen Time and Content & Privacy Restrictions on iPhone, or Family Link and Play Store parental controls on Android. Turn on purchase approval, set age-appropriate content limits, and keep the account under your family group so you can see activity.
How do I block or remove Badoo Premium from my child's phone?
On iPhone, open Settings, Screen Time, Content & Privacy Restrictions, then restrict or delete the app and block reinstalling it. On Android, open Family Link, select your child, find Badoo Premium and block or uninstall it. You can also set a store age limit so apps above your child's age cannot be installed.
