How to Set Up Sleep Mode in Messenger Kids

Jan 3, 2022

Facebook's Messenger Kids is a free app that allows children to make video calls and send messages on smartphones and tablets, but with more control than just giving your child access to a phone. With Messenger Kids, parents can control their child's online experience through a variety of functions that allow them to have a safe and secure online experience.

One of the ways you can control your child's online experience is with Sleep Mode. Sleep mode allows parents to manage when their child can use the app, by choosing what time of day sleep mode begins and ends. While Messenger Kids is in sleep mode, your child will not be able to use the app.

This guide will show you how to set up Sleep Mode in Messenger Kids.
