Messenger Kids allows parents to create profiles for their children so that they can talk to friends and family without signing up for Facebook. Parents have access to a variety of parental controls for their children’s Messenger Kids experience, which they can manage on Facebook.

One of these parental controls allows parents to hide their child’s online status, which will prevent their child’s contacts from knowing when the child is online.

Our guide will show you how to hide your child’s online status in the Messenger Kids application.
