Introducing Facebook’s Messenger Kids in Maldives

Facebook announced the launch of Messenger Kids in more than 70 new countries, including the Maldives, and new features that will gradually roll out in different markets. As schools around the world remain closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the new features are designed to let kids increase their contacts on the app under parental supervision.

The app’s Supervised Friending feature lets parents turn on an option that allows their children to accept, reject, add and remove contacts. Parents are notified through Messenger and allowed to override any approvals through the Parent Dashboard. Further, while being able to approve other adults, like teachers, to add their kids to group chats, parents can make their child’s profile name and photo visible to a circle of users.

In its announcement, Facebook said the new features were developed with its Youth Advisors, an advisory group made up of child development, media and online safety experts. Download Messenger Kids- Made for kids, Controlled by parents.
