Facebook launches phone app for teens called ‘Lifestage’

Social network Facebook has launched a smartphone app called ‘Lifestage’, a standalone iOS app for people 21 & under.  It asks for your happy face, sad face, likes, dislikes, best friend, the way you dance & more, but instead of filling in this biography quiz with text, you shoot videos. Lifestage turns those clips you recorded into a video profile others can watch.
While technically anyone can download Lifestage, anyone 22 or older will only be able to see their own profile. That’s because it’s built for high-schoolers to learn more about their classmates. A quick swipe lets you block and report people, too, in case anyone sketchy tries to creep on the kids.
