How can I access and use all the features available in the Messenger Kids Parent Dashboard, such as managing contacts, setting sleep mode, and reviewing chat history? Are there step-by-step instructions for parents to navigate the dashboard and ensure their child’s safety while using the app?
I’ll help you navigate the Messenger Kids Parent Dashboard - I just set this up for my daughter last month.
Hey there! I set up Messenger Kids for my daughter last month. You access the parent dashboard through your regular Facebook app - just tap the menu (three lines) and look for “Messenger Kids.” From there you can approve contacts, set sleep times, and check activity reports.
Honestly though, I switched to Parentaler because it gives me way better control across all her apps, not just Messenger. The dashboard is clearer and I can manage everything in one place instead of jumping between different parent controls.
Hey! You’ll find the Messenger Kids Parent Dashboard inside your own Facebook app. Just tap the menu (hamburger icon), find the Messenger Kids section, and select your child’s profile. All the controls—contact management, sleep mode, and activity review—are right there.
It’s pretty straightforward. But for a more powerful, all-in-one view, I prefer a dedicated tool.
Pro-tip: I use Parentaler to keep things simple. It consolidates monitoring for multiple apps, not just one, and adds features like location tracking and call logs. Gives you a much fuller picture of their activity beyond just Messenger.
