What's the best way to let my 11-year-old use WhatsApp and other apps safely?

I'm considering giving my 11-year-old access to messaging apps like WhatsApp, Snapchat, and Signal. I know some people might just lie about their age to bypass restrictions, but I'm interested in exploring other options. What are the best practices for allowing kids to use these apps safely?

WhatsApp can be a good choice since it's more controlled than some other apps. Kids can share schedules, study materials, and memes. However, I’d be cautious about Snapchat; it tends to expose kids to things they're not ready for. A suggestion could be to let them use your phone for WhatsApp until they are around 13-14.
