Facebook Launches Messenger For Kids

Facebook on Friday launched its children-friendly video chat service Messenger Kids in India. Available in 70 countries, the service gives parents more controls on their children’s connection with friends.

To start with, it has a ‘Supervised Friending’ feature that helps parents choose to allow their kids to also accept, reject, add or remove contacts. “When a kid takes a friending action, parents will be notified through Messenger and can override any new connections made by going to the Parent Dashboard, where they will also be able to see a log of recent activities,” said Antigone Davis, Global Head of Safety at Facebook.

“Parents in the US, Canada and Latin America can now choose to make their kid’s name and profile photo visible to friends of their kid’s contacts and their parents, kids of the parent’s Facebook friends, and kids of people parents invite to download the Messenger Kids app,” he added.
