One key addition is called “Sleep Mode.” This lets parents set specific times when the app cannot be used. During these times, kids see a message saying the app is unavailable. This helps manage screen time effectively. Parents can set different schedules for weekdays and weekends.

Facebook also improved the reporting system inside Messenger Kids. If a child feels uncomfortable about a message, they can report it directly. Reports go to the child’s parents immediately. Parents can then view the conversation and take action if needed. They can contact the other child’s parent or remove the contact.

The app now offers more detailed activity reports for parents too. Parents can see recent contacts, how much time their child spent messaging, and the photos or videos shared. This gives parents a clearer picture of their child’s app usage. Parents manage the app through their own Facebook accounts.
