Facebook Messenger Kids: How to use?

Yesterday (December 4, 2017), Facebook announced a new messaging application called Facebook Messenger Kids. The app allows parents to have control over who can chat with their children. This means that children will not use the full version of Facebook and cannot talk to strangers.

The application has no ads, so Facebook does not share anything with advertising partners and also does not have in-app purchases. Facebook said that Messenger Kids meet the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act). However, it is designed for children who are not teenagers, which has opened a debate about whether young people should use chat applications early. The application is available for iPhone in the US and will launch on Android in the coming months.
