Facebook Messenger launches kids for children under 13, a standalone app
Facebook is coming to your children
Social media giants are launching messaging apps with their parents and friends with their parents to chat with their parents.
Free app is intended for children under 13, who can not yet keep their account under Facebook's rules, although they often do.
Messenger comes with many controls for the children's parents. This service will not let kids connect their friends or delete messages - only parents can do this.
Children do not get a separate Facebook or Messenger account; Rather, it is the extension of a parent's account. Messenger kids as an app for Apple devices in the US Monday - iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
Versions for Android and Amazon tablets are coming later.
Children-centered experience
Children's psychiatrist Christel Lavelle said that the children who advised Facebook to design the service did not create those services using messages made for teens and adults and social media apps.
He said, "The risks of risk for them were not huge for the development of those things."
For parents who are not on Facebook, you have to be in the Facebook platform to allow your kids to use this app.
Messenger comes with features like game heads, emoji, inbuilt cameras, parental control on children's contact list and more.
To set up Messenger Kids on your child's device, follow these four steps:
1. First of all, download the Messenger Kids app on your child's iOS device.
2. Next, authenticate your child's device using your own Facebook username and password. This will not create a Facebook account for your child or give them access to your Facebook account.
3. To complete the set up process, please crate your child's account by providing your name. The device can now be handed over to the children to chat
4. To add people to your child's approved contact list, visit the Messenger Parents' Control Room in your main Facebook app. To get there, click on "More" at the bottom right corner of your main Facebook app and click on "Messenger Kids" in the Explore section.
Facebook says the app will not use child's information and no ads will be displayed in the app. In addition, the app has been prepared according to the Children's Online Privacy and Protection Act (COPA).

Messenger kids, meanwhile, "is the result of seeing how children like," which are images, emoji and the like
Love filters and spry masks can be distracted for adults, Lavallee said, but for the children, who are just learning to build relationships and stay in touch with parents, they are the way to express themselves
Content strategist at the Bowen Children's Hospital and at the center of Media and Child Health at Harvard University, Lavalie, Messenger Kids are called a "useful tool," which "parents make guards." But he said that while
Facebook has created the app with "best intentions", it is not yet known how people will actually use it.
As with other devices such as Facebook released in the past, intentions and real world use are not always matched. Facebook's live video streaming feature, for example, has been used for much more innocuous and useful things, but also used to stream crime and suicides

Is messenger kids just a way of Facebook for rope in youth?
Stephen Balcom, CEO of the Nonprofit Family Online Safety Institute, said, "The train has left the station."
Federal law prevents Internet companies from collecting personal information about children under the age of 13 without restriction of their parents and prohibits advertising for them.
This is the reason that Facebook and many other social media companies stop engaging with young children. Nevertheless, Balcom said that children under the age of 13 years are already without Facebook on or without the approval of their parents.
He said that Facebook is trying to combat the situation practically by the users of the youth by steering for the services designed for them.
Marketing cases
Facebook said that Messenger will not collect children data for advertising or marketing, although it will collect some data in which it must be said that it is necessary to run the service.
Facebook has also said that these users will not be taken regularly to regular Messenger or Facebook, when they are outdated, although the company has to go down the line to contact the messenger
