From the latest Ofcom research:
Five-to-seven-year-olds are becoming increasingly present online, which may pose greater
risks for them: Compared to last year, a higher proportion of all 5-7s use apps/sites to do
each of these activities: send messages or make voice/video calls (from 59% to 65%), use
social media apps or sites (from 30% to 38%), watch livestreaming apps or sites (39% to 50%)
or game online (34% to 41%). Children this age are also more likely to use WhatsApp (37% vs
29%), TikTok (30% vs 25%), Instagram (22% vs 14%) and Discord (4% vs. 2%) compared to
last year.
