Antigone Davis, Facebook's global head of safety, describes the app as 'technology on training wheels'
Facebook Messenger Kids has been giving parents and their children a supervised channel of communication since 2017, letting kids chat freely with friends and loved ones.
Messenger Kids announced a new parent dashboard on Tuesday, meaning some of the features that parents were previously able to access on their child’s device are now available to view in one place in a more streamlined manner on devices of their own. Madhavan and Antigone Davis, Facebook’s global head of safety, tell PEOPLE that the upgrades emerged from continued talks with parents and their children about how to improve the Messenger Kids experience, which Davis says resembles “technology on training wheels.
“This happens with kids. They’re like, ‘I don’t want to be this kid’s friend anymore. I’m blocking you,’” says Madhavan. “Or in some cases, if the child is feeling like, ‘I don’t feel comfortable with this conversation or this person is not being nice to me,’ they can block that person and the parent gets that view in terms of who their child has blocked through the app, or unblocked.”
