And while parents know it\u2019s important for their children to learn to use technology in today\u2019s digital world, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/safety\/parents\/messengerkids\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">75%<\/a> want more visibility into their kids\u2019 digital activities. This is precisely why Facebook designed Messenger Kids to empower parents to monitor their children\u2019s safety online. However, the popular social media platform had to recently warn users of a security issue within this app for kids.<\/p>\n<p>The central benefit of Messenger Kids is that children can only chat with other users their parents approve of. Yet one design flaw within the group chat feature prevented Facebook from upholding this rule. Children who started a group chat could include any of their approved connections in the conversation, even if a user was not authorized to message the other kids in the chat. As a result, thousands of children were able to connect with users their parents weren\u2019t aware of via this flaw.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, Facebook removed the unauthorized group chats and flagged the issue to all affected users, promising that that potentially unsafe chats won\u2019t happen again. While Facebook has not yet made a formal public response, they confirmed the bug to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/7\/22\/20706250\/facebook-messenger-kids-bug-chat-app-unauthorized-adults\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Verge<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe recently notified some parents of Messenger Kids account users about a technical error that we detected affecting a small number of group chats. We turned off the affected chats and provided parents with additional resources on Messenger Kids and online safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>How to Keep Your Child Safe on Messenger<\/h2>\n<p>Now, Facebook is currently working on still resolving the bug itself. However, there are still many actions parents can take to ensure that their child is safe on Facebook Messenger, and social media apps in general. Start by following these four best practices to secure your kid\u2019s online presence:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Turn on automatic app updates on your child\u2019s device. <\/strong>Updates usually include new and improved app features that your child will be excited to try. But more importantly, they tend to account for security bugs. Delaying updates can leave apps vulnerable to cybercriminals and turning on automatic app updates ensures that you don\u2019t have to worry about missing one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get educated. <\/strong>Some parents find it helpful to use the same apps as their child to better understand how it works and what safety threats might be relevant. Facebook also offers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/safety\/parents\/gettoknow\/stayingsafe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">resources online<\/a> that provide guidance for staying safe, such as how and when to block a user and what kind of content is or isn\u2019t risky to share. Additionally, it\u2019s always a best practice to read the terms and conditions of an app before downloading to make sure you\u2019re aware of what your child is signing up for.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keep an open dialogue about online safety. <\/strong>It\u2019s important to discuss your child\u2019s online activities with them and walk them through best internet practices, such as changing passwords every so often and not clicking on links from unknown sources. That way, they\u2019ll be better prepared for potential cyberthreats. Making the internet a part of the conversion will also help your child feel comfortable coming to you about things they might be skeptical about online.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Consider leveraging a security solution with parental controls. <\/strong>Depending on your child\u2019s age and how much of a window you want into their online behaviors, you can leverage a solution such as <a href=\"http:\/\/family.mcafee.com\/?culture=EN-US&amp;cid=223303&amp;pir=1#videowatch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">McAfee Safe Family<\/a> that can be helpful for creating a safe online environment. You can block certain websites and create predefined rules, which will help prevent your child from sharing comprising information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And, of course, to stay updated on all of the latest consumer and mobile security threats, follow\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/McAfee_Home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@McAfee_Home\u00a0<\/a>on Twitter, listen to our podcast\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/geo.itunes.apple.com\/podcast\/us\/id1257232208?mt=2&amp;at=1010lbVy&amp;ct=mcafeehackable_GaryBlog_EndBlurb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Hackable?<\/em><\/a>, and \u2018Like\u2019 us on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/McAfee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9 out of 10 children in the U.S. between the ages of six and twelve have access to smart devices&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":674,"featured_media":85556,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[4322,3949,4452,32,100,4132,214,2205,4222,321],"coauthors":[3973],"class_list":["post-96041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-family-safety","tag-app-security","tag-cybersafety","tag-cybersecurity","tag-data-protection","tag-facebook","tag-mobile-app","tag-mobile-security1","tag-protecting-kids-online","tag-social-media","tag-social-networking"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>4 Ways for Parents to Handle the Facebook Messenger Bug<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"9 out of 10 children in the U.S. between the ages of six and twelve have access to smart devices.
