It allows kids to communicate digitally while handing parents the option of approving contacts. This helps to address some of the concerns around young children using smartphone apps. <div style="padding-bottom:15px;"></div> <strong>Contacts whitelist</strong> <div style="padding-bottom:15px;"></div> Child users of Messenger Kids cannot communicate with others until each individual has been added to the contacts list. Before a new contact makes it to the whitelist, a parent has to explicitly approve the connection. Parents can review contact requests inside a new Messenger Kids Controls settings area inside the main Facebook app. <div style="padding-bottom:15px;"></div> <center><div class="rs_skip embedded-image" style=";float:center;width:620px;"> <div class="def_img"> <a href="/web/20171204210528/http://www.digitaljournal.com/image/365798" style="display:block;text-align:center"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20171204210528im_/http://www.digitaljournal.com/img/3/7/9/5/3/4/i/3/6/5/p-large/ipad-merge-01.jpg" alt="Facebook Messenger Kids" style="max-width: 620px;" border="0"/></a> <div class="details"> <div class="description">Facebook Messenger Kids</div> <div class="attribution">Facebook</div> </div> </div> </div></center> <div style="padding-bottom:15px;"></div> <strong>READ NEXT:</strong> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171204210528/http://www.digitaljournal.com/tech-and-science/technology/experimental-windows-10-feature-adds-a-whole-new-way-to-work/article/508942" target="_blank">Experimental Windows 10 feature adds a whole new way to work</a> <div style="padding-bottom:15px;"></div> Once approved contacts have been added, kids can message each other using a subset of the main Messenger features. There's support for video chats, masks and drawing tools, as well as a limited selection of "kid-appropriate" GIFs and stickers. Most of Messenger's adult capabilities, such as <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171204210528/http://www.digitaljournal.com/business/facebook-will-now-allow-sending-cash-to-friends-using-paypal/article/505649" target="_blank">payments</a> and digital assistance, are unavailable in Messenger Kids. <div style="padding-bottom:15px;"></div> According to Facebook, Messenger Kids is meant to be a way of introducing children to digital communication in a safe and accessible way. The company argued that the app's protections against child predators and online exploitation make it suitable for kids <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171204210528/https://techcrunch.com/2017/12/04/facebook-messenger-kids/" target="_blank">as young as</a> six. If successful, the app could give Facebook access to a new demographic of very young users, ready to convert to full Messenger accounts once they turn 13. <div style="padding-bottom:15px;"></div> <strong>"Questions and concerns"</strong> <div style="padding-bottom:15px;"></div> Facebook consulted with parents and child safety experts while it developed the app. Outside organisations including National PTA and Blue Star Families have provided guidance for the project. Facebook said it welcomed the input and involved parents and families from the outset. <div style="padding-bottom:15px;"></div> "Today, parents are increasingly allowing their children to use tablets and smartphones, but often have questions and concerns about how their kids use them and which apps are appropriate," said <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171204210528/https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2017/12/introducing-messenger-kids-a-new-app-for-families-to-connect/" target="_blank">Facebook</a>. "So when we heard about the need for better apps directly from parents during research and conversations with parents, we knew we needed to develop it alongside with the people who were going to use it, as well as experts who could help guide our thinking." <div style="padding-bottom:15px;"></div> <center><div class="rs_skip embedded-image" style=";float:center;width:620px;"> <div class="def_img"> <a href="/web/20171204210528/http://www.digitaljournal.com/image/365797" style="display:block;text-align:center"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20171204210528im_/http://www.digitaljournal.com/img/3/7/9/5/3/4/i/3/6/5/p-large/dc2c7345-3385-45da-a965-4580ce258ff4.jpg" alt="Facebook Messenger Kids" style="max-width: 620px;" border="0"/></a> <div class="details"> <div class="description">Facebook Messenger Kids</div> <div class="attribution">Facebook</div> </div> </div> </div></center> <div style="padding-bottom:15px;"></div> Messenger Kids is available in preview form today on the App Store.
