## Description

Kids Messenger is a safer messaging app designed for children to stay connected with family and friends. It offers free audio and video calls, group calls up to six participants in video and up to twelve in audio, text messaging with your Xavatar, and playful animations, all without needing a SIM card or phone number.

Safety and privacy are built in. Invites are limited to people who know your mobile number, email, or Xooloo Friend code; children under 13 require parental consent, with parents able to access contacts but not chats. The app is free—no subscriptions or in-app purchases—and Xooloo does not trade personal information.
