Messenger is a popular messaging app from Meta. For kids, there's a separate app called Messenger Kids, designed with parental controls. While it offers a safer, monitored environment for communication, parents should be aware of potential risks like cyberbullying and the importance of ongoing supervision.

Messenger is Facebook’s instant messaging app for texting, voice, and video calls. While it offers parental controls and privacy settings, concerns exist over exposure to strangers and inappropriate content. Parents should monitor usage and set limits to ensure it’s safe for kids.
