Also, to help kids connect with more friends, parents can allow kids to connect through groups, which enables approved adults to connect kids who have the same approval. Parents can also allow for Supervised Friending which allows kids to control their contacts (parents can still see and control them, too). After that kid enters the passphrase into the app, parents will get a message to approve (or not approve) that connection. If kids want to add a contact (and parents have enabled this feature), they can share a four-word passphrase with their friends. Parents can also add contacts to their kid's account via the grown-up version of Messenger. After downloading, a parent (or anyone with an existing Facebook account) must log in with their own Facebook credentials that person can then approve all contacts in the Messenger Kids app. Parents need to know that Messenger Kids is a kids' messaging app created by Facebook that's targeted at kids under 13.
