What is Messenger Kids?

[Santiago]

I keep hearing about Messenger Kids from other parents, but I’m not entirely sure what makes Messenger Kids different from the regular Messenger app. What exactly is Messenger Kids, and how does it work for children?
Is Messenger Kids safe for younger users, and what kind of parental controls does Messenger Kids offer to keep conversations secure? I’d appreciate real experiences and advice on using Messenger Kids.

Messenger Kids is a messaging and video-calling app designed for children. Parents manage the account, approve contacts, and monitor communication settings through their own account. The app includes filters, stickers, and interactive features while offering more parental oversight than standard messaging platforms. It does not allow children to add contacts independently. Messenger Kids can help families stay connected, but parents should still discuss online etiquette, privacy, and safe communication habits with their children.
