Kids Messenger – Safe Messaging for Kids

What is Kids Messenger?

Kids Messenger is a free Android app created by Xooloo SAS that offers a child‑friendly space for messaging and voice/video calls. Designed specifically for younger users, it replaces the need for a traditional phone number with a simple account system, allowing kids to stay connected with family and friends while giving parents tools to manage access.

Main features

• Audio and video calls – Children can start one‑to‑one or group calls without a SIM card.
• Group chat support – Up to twelve participants can join an audio conversation and up to six can appear on video.
• Custom avatars – Users create a personalized Xavatar that represents them in chats and calls.
• Animated stickers – Fun effects such as kisses, confetti or playful pies can be sent to brighten a conversation.
• Birthday reminders – The app notifies users of friends’ birthdays and offers a simple way to send a greeting.
• Parental consent workflow – For children under 13, an adult must approve the account before it becomes active.

How it works

After downloading the app, a child creates an account using an email address or a unique friend code. The system does not require a mobile phone number, which helps keep personal data private. Once the account is approved by a parent, the child can add contacts who have been invited via email, phone number, or friend code. All communications occur within the app’s encrypted channels, and the interface is built to be intuitive for young users.

Practical uses

• Staying in touch with classmates for school projects.
• Keeping family members connected across distances.
• Organising virtual playdates with a small group of friends.
• Celebrating birthdays with a quick video call or animated greeting.
