Safe Chat : Best Messaging Apps for Children

There are several considerations when choosing the best messaging app for your child. Online messaging is more than just a simple back and forth. For children today, the experience is of course about the GIFs, stickers, and games that make conversation a richer and more exciting experience than traditional SMS – but messaging apps have also become a social space for kids, where being included means being connected and available. Teodora Pavkovic has written a very informative article on the best messaging apps for kids and how to keep them safe.
