Created by developers from the French firm Voodoo, Wizz was launched in 2019 with the aim of connecting strangers online in safety. “Expand your world meeting unexpected online people,” is one of its promotion lines, and while not explicitly aimed at teenagers, they appear to have been a key segment of its users.
