Messenger Kids, Facebook’s chat app for children ages six to 12, is getting a sleep mode so parents can have more control over how much time a child spends using the app.
With the new sleep mode, parents can set predetermined times when the app can’t be used on a child’s device, such as at night, or during homework time. Sleep mode can be accessed from the parental control panel, where weekdays or weekends can be selected, followed by the sleep mode’s start and stop time.
