Messenger kids has not been letting my daughter text it says « messaging and calling is not available in this chat right now »

By Patricia   11 months ago


My son can use his messenger kids to call me, but when I swipe to answer it disconnects the call. When I call him back, I get an airline reservation desk. This is not good as he only uses it to call me in an emergency.

Kids Messenger works for a bit, and then the next day she can receive but not send messages. Have updated, checked permissions, restarted, cleared cache. The first time, it appeared to be a permissions issue, but it keeps happening. Kids Kindle Fire 10 HD Pro

All games, not able to tap to play or change faces, for example from baby with dummy to elderly person. Another example is the puppy game where you have to tap the puppy on your screen to make him bumscoot across the rug. My child's one we can't tap, swipe or do anything to move her puppy across the rug, but her friends screens they can. Any help much appreciated. Recently we re downloaded the kids messenger, but it hasn't fixed the issue

Hello there, I have recently been experiencing issues with the messenger kids app. First off, whenever someone calls me on the app, my phone will vibrate pretty consistently as if someone is calling me, however no icon appears anywhere on the phone to click on in order to join the video chat. In addition, my son and I like to play games. When we do so, we leave the messenger kids app running so that we can still talk to each other. The second issue I face recently is that the speaker switches to the earpiece speaker instead of the speakerphone speaker. During our game, I had to ask my son about 30 times what he was saying because it was so faint. He also experienced the same thing on his end, and extremely faint voice because of the relocation of audio route. Please advise, thank you

I try to authorize my daughter's new device and when I try to log in it finds my account and asks for the password. I enter the password and then it loops back to asking for my facebook account.

By Kim   1 year ago


My child was talking to her friends on kids messenger when she suddenly got booted out. When i tried to sign her back in it won't let me authorize the account. It finds my Facebook with the email i provide but when i put in my password it thinks for a second and then kicks me back to the provide your email page. This happened on september 30th 2022

By Alex   1 year ago

I am having the same problem Justin and Brittany are having. It won't let me authorize the device. I already tried uninstalling and then reinstalling. At first it was just doing this on our tablet but now it's doing the same thing on our Chromebook. This started Sunday Sept 25, 2022.

By Justin   1 year ago


I am having the same issue that looks to have started around September 23rd with my child being logged out of Messenger Kids. I tried to log back in and it tells me that I need to "Authorize Device" and returns me to the previous screen each time I try to log in. I have cleared the cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted phone. Uninstalled Messenger, Facebook, and Messenger Kids and then reinstalled all of them and logged back into FB and Messenger and still cannot log back into Messenger Kids. There is a problem that has no solution as of now.

By Brittany   1 year ago


It suddenly stopped working and said I needed to Authorize. I can't Login or Authorize . If I enter my password or temporary password it sends me back to the beginning. I have tried different devices, and reinstalling. It's been 3 days now.

By Treesong   1 year ago


I seem to be having the same issue as the previous commenter. When I uninstall and reinstall, it asks me to authorize the device. I receive and enter the authorization code. But then it brings me back to the login screen. So I can't access the app at all beyond the login screen.

By Brandi Brown   1 year ago


MESSENGER KIDS HAS A BUG. YOU CAN'T AUTHORIZE A DEVICE TO USE THE APP. I HAVE FOUND NO WAY TO REPORT THE BUG OR RECEIVE ANY HELP.

By Janna Patrick   1 year ago


I am having issues authorizing Kid Messenger through facebook. Originally I could get into all the accounts, except one child. It would say "logging out" but go right back to the back page. So I uninstalled and reinstalled the app but when it gets to "Authorize device" I put in the one - time password and hits authorize device it would go briefly to the Confirm your a parent or guardian page but then jump right back to the Authorize device page. So I can't even get into the app at all.

My daughter tries to call out on messenger kids and the person on the receiving end cannot see her, it just has a continuous loading thing

By Katie   1 year ago


My daughter and her friend can't see each other on video call. They can only hear each other and see themselves. We've tried with other friends and family, nothing. We made sure the video is selected on and have deleted and reinstalled the app. Still not working. This is day 2 now.

By Duane Mundell   1 year ago


My daughter's and my sons video will not display to other person only voice. I tried on my phone using my son's account to do video with my daughter. The same thing happened on both of our ends. Could not see each other just ourselves. Video is selected on so its not that. What is happening and how do I fix it? Thanks

By Katrina Murphy   1 year ago


Everytime my kid tries to play a game or feature that tells her to tap it doesn't respond to any taps. There are no issues with her touch screen outside of the app. She was able to play games on her old tablet but not her new one.

By NanaD26   1 year ago


Another grandparent here who can't play a game with grandchildren. I tap the screen where indicated but it doesn't do anything like it used to. I can choose games to play, but it just sits there prompting me to tap the screen, but when I do, nothing happens. It works on my grandchild's end. It doesn't matter who called who. They are using an iPad, I'm using an Android...but that was never a problem before. May have started happening with Messenger Kid app update? Is there a solution to this? If so, where can I find it? I've tried force-stopping the app and restarting my phone. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Permissions have been given for use of phone, access to media, video, etc.

My friends daughter and my daughter have been messaging and video chatting everyday for about a month. All of a sudden my friends daughter can’t send a message to my daughter or video chat with her. However, my daughter can send messages and video chat with her friend and her friend receives them all. Is something wrong on her friends end that won’t allow her messages send?

By Sharon Tines   1 year ago


When I try to touch the screen while playing a game on messenger kids, I tap where the finger points me to and tap like I used to, but it has stopped allowing me to choose anything to play. It just sits there promoting me to tap the screen, but when I do, nothing happens, even though it's working on my granddaughter's screen.

When k try to create a child’s account, it says Unable to create account, try again. I only get as far as putting in my child’s Info. And kid messenger is not listed in my own personal settings to manage an account either. Why is nothing being done about these issues. :/

My kid is stuck on the screen on messager kids please help.

By Meghan VanBeek   2 years ago


Based on what I am finding via a Google search, I am guessing both of my kids' accounts got deleted, but I don't know why? One rarely used her account. I cannot create an account - error says "user may not create an account" or some similar; if I try to access parent controls thru an old manage msg in my own Messenger account, the screen is just cut off and gray so you can't even read the error note... so irritating. If the accounts were deleted, I - as the parental control account - should have been notified about why, and given a heads up...

Hi I'm trying to make a kids messenger account for my kids on my new account seeing my other account i used to have had it but it got hacked

By Anonymous   2 years ago


The app won't let me send messages to others. It keeps saying "unable to send" but won't tell me why. I've restarted the app and even my device but it still won't work. Yes I've checked my connection, yes I checked for updates, and yes I've look for the reason why it isn't working. No answers yet. Also I feel as though they need to add more content for gifs and such. There is no rainbow, pride, gay, or even a rainbow heart anywhere. It's hard to celebrate pride month if I can't send any pride gifs or stickers. I hope that has nothing to do with the fact I can't send pride month related messages. I hope this helps.
