Is Messenger Go for Social Media, Messages, Feed safe for my kids?
While the Messages, Text and Video Chat for Free app is free to use, users should be aware that they will be served pop up ads at an accelerated rate. In terms of content, this app is safe for kids, but parents will want to consider the excessive ads and permissions.
Since this is an app launcher, parents don't need to be concerned about age limits specifically for this app, though the app is used in tandem with other social media apps. We recommend that all existing social media and messaging apps already be approved by a parent before using the Messenger app to launch.
There is, however, a downside, as many users complain that the Messages, Text and Video Chat for Free app causes other applications to lag, freeze and sometimes even shut down completely.
Those users using only two or three social platforms will likely not find this app to be of any interest, but those with many social and messaging accounts may find it helpful in organizing all of their accounts in a single space.
Where parents do have cause for concern is in the permissions of the Messenger app, which unnecessarily exposes user information to yet another party; as the Messenger app is one of convenience, not a necessity, users should carefully consider whether the free app is worth the cost of another application accessing information from their device.
