WhatsApp is lowering its minimum age limit in Ireland and Europe from 16 to 13.

It says it's making the change to make sure there is a consistent minimum age requirement across the globe.

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

The changes are part of updated terms and conditions, which come into effect tomorrow Friday February 16th.
