Is Fam Messenger safe for my kids?

FAM Messenger is not safe for kids, but may be safe for mature teens. Since the Fam Messenger app has features for connecting kids to strangers and offers self-destructing messaging, parents may be concerned with their kids using this.

Even though the Fam Messenger app is rated 'E' for Everyone in the Google Play store, it is not recommended for younger kids as there are many safety concerns. The first of which is large groups users can participate in, which can have a strong possibility for cyberbullying and the sharing of inappropriate material. Also, in larger public groups, it's easy for users to be anonymous, since there is no verification of profiles.

One last big concern with Fam Messenger is the incognito mode, where messages disappear and cannot be screenshot for future reference. Similar to Snapchat, the disappearing nature of messages could cause concern for parents who are worried about sexting or other inappropriate conversations.
