Messenger Kids

Really great app. Kids are loving it. Being able to be in touch with their friends. Only issue I found is when it asks if the person you want to add is a child or adult. You click child and it says error. Also frustrating that you can only add people on the parents friend list.

I was sent a link by a friend on my phone...created an account for each child via my phone then loaded the app onto their iPads. Could not for love or money find a way to log in or link to the accounts I had created. On their iPads it kept asking me to create a new account, nowhere to log in. So I created new accounts on their iPads but then cannot see or link to them on my phone 😬 I deleted EVERYTHING from all devices and started from scratch and same problem...what the hell, back to Hangouts/Whattsapp and Discord! Oh dear god the most frustrating 2 hours of my life!

As a parent I am always concerned about internet safety. I was hesitant at first about messenger for kids however getting the weekly reviews is great. I can see who my child has been chatting to and how often as well as the images shared. This provides me with peace of mind.

I’m happy for my child to have this app. What I would like is a way to access her messages to check content without having to check her phone or download an additional account of hers on my phone (I don’t want to be alerted every time she has a message, I just want to randomly check content when I have time to make sure she’s being sensible & safe)

Had the same issue as previous review. Set it up on my phone. Then tried to set it up on another device for my step son to use and for the life of me could not work out how to do it and ended up with 2 separate ones. Not straight forward at all! Great idea but difficult to work out how to get into the settings once you’ve set it up and impossible to workout how to share to other devices.
