Messenger Kids

i used to use this app all the time before getting a phone. now that i have messages and i am able to talk to my friends, i don’t really use it anymore. I created a new account to talk to my brother when he is away because he doesn’t have messages or a phone/apple id yet so we have no way of communication when he is away besides this app. since i got it again there are just some things i’d like to talk about (mostly the problems that need fixing or just things that need to be changed) 1. Whenever someone is spam calling you (or just calling you in general) if you open the app then it just goes straight to the call and you’re not able to text the person calling you or anyone else until you decline the call or wait for the call to go away. It is very annoying and causes a lot of typos when that happens. 2. Whenever someone calls you and you answer, you can’t turn off your camera right as you answer. For facetime, when you are called, before you answer you have the choice to turn off your camera or flip it. Since this app is supposed to be used for kids who don’t have a phone or apple id to call/ text friends and family, some of these kids might be going through things where they don’t like their appearance. Turning off the camera right as you join the call should be added because it is very annoying not being able to turn off your camera when you want to. That is all I have today but I will be making edits as I use the app more and find more things that need work. Thank you for reading this.

I’ve been using Messenger Kids for a while now. I started using it when my cousin and best friend Olivia got it a few years ago to talk with her. We would text each other, call, and video chat quite a bit on the app. It works very well. The video chat feature is very good if you wish to see the other person’s face, and miss them and just want to talk longer than over text. It works pretty well most of the time but there are times when it is kinda glitchy and doesn’t work as well. For example, say you audio called someone, (no video camera), so you are talking to your friend, cousin, whoever, and all of a sudden the audio gets very quiet and starts sounding very faint. Then you can hardly hear the other person on the phone, and you have to eventually hang up the call and call them again. It can happen several times and is very annoying and inconvenient. Also, when you video chat someone, sometimes when you are on the call it just randomly pauses, glitches, or stops the video. That is also very annoying and inconvenient because then you usually have to call that other person several times again to get it to work. I wish that whoever made the app could fix these bugs because then the app would work a lot better. Overall it’s a very good and helpful app. I use it to communicate with my best friend Charlie and my young out of state cousins. I just wish the app developers who made this app could and would fix all those bugs and glitches. Thank you!

I’m a kid myself. I use this app for my friends who can only have messenger kids. I am a kid and I think it’s pretty fun to have. Some games are cheesy and lame to be honest. MESSENGER KIDS NEEDS TO SEE THIS ONE PART! The glitches are super bad. I don’t know if it’s just mine, but on my phone and iPad and my moms phone, it was super slow. Whenever my friends would text me it would give me a notification just like any other. When I got onto the app and looked at the messages it wouldn’t show. Then a week to a month will pass later and the same exact notification will pop up. I get on messenger kids and it finally shows me what my friends are up to a month ago. One night I’m just watching a show when I hear a buzzing noise. The noise was my phone ringing. When I pick it up it stops. It was from one of my group chats I had on messenger kids. When I opened the app up, it didn’t say anything. When you usually call it’ll say “Missed Call”. This time it didn’t say anything. It kept calling, and calling, and calling, and calling over, over, over, and over again. The only way I could get it to stop was by powering my phone down and turning it back on. Then about 30 minutes later, it started doing it again. The games are slow, everything is slow, everything’s glitchy. Everything’s messed up. If I honestly had a child, I wouldn’t give them messenger kids. I would give them iMessage with parent controls on it. If you read this Messenger Kids (probably didn’t) then thank you! 🙏
