PRAWND for parents
updated October 20, 2026
PRAWND is a photo game: once a day, a small group of 2 to 8 friends gets the same challenge and answers in 3 minutes with a pic taken on the spot. The app is free, with no ads, no purchases and no location tracking, for ages 13 and up (in France, under 15 requires a parent's consent). There are no followers and no public feed: pics are only seen by the squad, the small invited group. Here are the details, so you can decide with all the facts.
Who sees the pics?
In a squad, the members your teen invited or who invited them, 2 to 8 people. You get in with an invite code. There are no followers, no profile search and no public feed.
There's one exception, and it's optional: the Ocean, one challenge shared by all players aged 15 and up, once a week. It asks for a clear agreement before the first pic, is played only with the back camera on objects (never people), and every pic is checked by the team before it shows up. It's refused if a face or personal information shows. Under-15s don't see the Ocean.
What the app does to protect
- Report a pic or comment, block someone, hide a post, delete your answer or your account: all from inside the app.
- Every report is reviewed within 24 hours. Serious content (hate, threats, harassment) gets its author removed.
- A word filter refuses serious insults, hateful and explicit sexual words in usernames, squad names, challenges and comments, in all six languages of the app.
- No ads, no data sold, no location tracking.
- Squad pics are deleted automatically after 12 months, Ocean pics after 30 days.
What your teen sees every day
One challenge a day, at a surprise time: "your Monday morning face", "the most random thing within reach". Three minutes to answer, with the camera, not the camera roll. In the evening, a recap and the photo of the day vote. Nobody outside their squad can write to them: people comment under the pics of their own group.
What you can do
- Ask your teen who they play with: their squads are groups of friends they know.
- Remind them not to show an address, a school or a license plate in their pics.
- Tell them they can report or delete anything that bothers them, and that they can talk to you about it.
- Write to contact@prawnd.app with any question or to delete an account: we answer within 48 hours.
