Facebook Messenger Kids App – for the first time, FB is opening up to children under age 13 with a privacy-focused app created to neutralize child predator threats that plague youth-focused competitors like Snapchat. This was launched in 2017, but not too many people know about it.
Messenger Kids lets parents download the app on their child’s device, create an account for them, and approve friends and family with whom they can text and video chat from the main Messenger app. Tweens don’t sign up for a Facebook account and don’t need a phone number, but can interact with other Messenger and Messenger Kids users parents sign-off on, so younger siblings don’t get left out of the family group chat.
Special proactive detection safety prevents children from fro sharing nudity, sexual content, or violence, while a dedicated team will respond immediately t report or flagged content.
