Facebook has launched a new social media app aimed at school teenagers.

According to statistics website Statista only 8% of Facebook's US users are aged 13-19.

It has been designed by Facebook product manager Michael Sayman, who is 19 years old.

Members of Life stage, currently only available on Apple devices in the US, upload pictures and videos based around feelings, likes and dislikes. These are then turned into video profiles.

All posts are public and there are no options to restrict viewing. The idea is to connect members of the same school

Life stage has no messaging functionality but users can display contact details from other sites such as Snapchat and Instagram.

 

School members can view each other's profiles once the individual school has registered 20 members or more.
