Lifestage is designed for teens to find and connect with other people who go to their school. Instead of directly messaging each other, high schoolers are supposed to use the app to share selfies and videos that all of their classmates can watch. Lifestage is so focused on reaching high schoolers that it blocks people who list their age as over 21 in the app from joining a school or looking up other accounts. But there's one catch: you can easily fake your age in the app and pretend to be a high schooler.

When you first open Lifestage , it asks you to create an account with a phone number and enter your age. Even though the app is owned by Facebook, there's no option to sign in with a Facebook account. A Facebook spokesperson told Business Insider that it created Lifestage after hearing feedback from teenagers who said there wasn't a good social network for finding who went to their school. The spokesperson also said that requiring only a phone number was meant to encourage teens without Facebook accounts to use the app.

Lifestage's lack of age authentication and visibility settings pose serious privacy concerns, according to Common Sense Media, a non-profit organization that educates families about internet safety for children. When Facebook first launched its social network for college students in 2004, users were required to provide a college email address in order to sign up. High school students don't typically have a school-provided email address, which makes it tougher to implement a similar system for Lifestage. But Facebook would not say why the service doesn't include some kind of system to prevent adults from posing as high school students.
