What Can You Add to Your Child’s Info on Messenger Kids?
There are multiple reasons why you might want to add your child’s information on Messenger Kids. This ranges from including their pronouns for other contacts to see, to including a profile picture and name or nickname.
Here’s a look at the different fields you can add…
Adding Pronouns
Messenger Kids gives your child a chance to show their pronouns. He/him, She/her, and They/them are the available pronouns in Messenger Kids.
Parents can choose one from the list, which will be saved for future reference. This simple step encourages kids to embrace their identities and come out to the world with confidence.
Profile Picture
Like most adults, kids also love to share their pictures on social media. Although Messenger Kids does not have a story feature like the standard version, there is an option to change the profile picture.
Parents can pick a profile picture of their choice or ask their child to pick one. This way, everyone on the list can stay updated on your kid’s appearance. You can also remove it if you’re concerned about the safety of Messenger Kids .
Edit Name
When you start an account on Messenger Kids , your name and personal information are required. Parents can remove names or change them if someone else (a sibling) uses that account.
