Whether we like it or not, it is inevitable that children will use smartphones. So if they're going to use them anyway, it's better if they do so in a safe environment and with apps appropriate for their age group. The guys from Facebook thought so too and developed their own version of the messenger for children, so that the youngest in the household can also use this type of app, but without any danger.

We're talking about Facebook Messenger Kids - Safer Video Calls and Texting, the version that allows our kids to communicate via instant messaging without us parents having to worry about their safety and exposure. And why? Well, basically thanks to the fact that the functions and features include options to control what they do:

• Parents have full control over the contact list.
• Messages cannot be deleted.
• There are no ads or features to make in-app purchases.
• Parents or carers can read the conversations.
• Video chats with features for kids like masks, emojis, stickers and other elements. More than an adult, she would wish for the adult version of Facebook Messenger.
• Direct connection with parents and grandparents.
• Instant adornment of all photos sent.
• Camera effects applied in real time.
• Very simple functionality.

Of course, some parents might believe that snooping on their conversations is an invasion of their children's privacy because a 7-year-old is already mature enough to know what is right and wrong. Oh really? We may have to go into the thinking corner. Just download the APK for the Android version (there's also one for the iPhone) and teach the youngest members of the household how to use new technologies. As they get older, they have time to learn how to WhatsApp nude pictures or buy drugs on the dark web.
