Messenger Kids is a free video, voice, and messaging app from Meta, designed to help children connect and communicate with family and friends. Available for iOS, Android, and Kindle devices, the app combines chat and video calls with playful features such as face filters, stickers, emojis, quizzes, doodles, and games. Children can use it to share creative activities, stay in touch with relatives, or collaborate with friends.

Parents and guardians manage the experience through a Parent Dashboard in the Facebook app, while children do not need a Facebook account. Dashboard tools let adults manage contacts and settings, review messaging activity, monitor friending, set scheduled Sleep Mode hours, and download information such as contacts, messages, images, and videos. Parents can also choose which features children may use.

Messenger Kids has no ads or in-app purchases. Accounts are set up with a child’s name and picture, and a device must be verified. Messaging and video calls are free over Wi-Fi; standard data charges may apply when using mobile data.
