How do I change Messenger settings for kids?

Answered by Edward Huber

To change the Messenger settings for your child on Messenger Kids, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Facebook app on your device.
2. Tap on the “Messenger Kids” tab at the top of the screen. If you don’t see this tab, you can search for “Messenger Kids” in the search bar.
3. Once you are in the Messenger Kids section, you will see a list of profiles, including your child’s profile. Tap on your child’s photo or name to access their profile.
4. In your child’s profile, you will find a “Controls” button. Tap on it to access the settings for their Messenger Kids account.
5. Within the Controls section, you will see various options for editing your child’s information. Look for the “Edit Info” button and tap on it.
6. Now, you can make changes to your child’s information such as their name, profile photo, and birthday. You can also update their messenger avatar and choose a different background color.
7. After making the necessary edits, tap on the “Save” button to save the changes.

It’s important to note that certain information, such as your child’s name and birthday, may require verification for security purposes. Facebook may ask for additional information to confirm your parental authority over the child’s account.

Remember, as a parent or guardian, you have control over your child’s Messenger Kids account and can make changes to their information as needed.
