In recent days, social media platform 'WhatsApp' has lowered its minimum age limit in Ireland and across Europe from 16 to 13.

The social media messenger said it was making the change to ensure there was a consistent minimum age requirement around the world.

WhatsApp users who are under 18 are still advised to have a parent or guardian read over the terms of service.

But the move has prompted concerns from parents about child safety when using the app.
