What is Facebook app and is it safe for kids to use?

I’ve heard my child talk about the Facebook app, but I’m not sure how it works or if it’s suitable for their age. Can someone explain what the Facebook app is used for and whether it’s safe for kids or teens? I’d also like to know if there are any parental controls or safety settings parents should use.

Facebook is a social media app where people share posts, photos, videos, and connect with others. It is not meant for kids under 13 and can expose them to strangers, inappropriate content, or scams. While teens can use it more safely with strong privacy settings and parental guidance, younger kids should avoid it or use it only under close supervision.
