Apple is currently promoting the app on the featured tab of the App Store.
Meanwhile, Facebook is also launching a similar service for its Messenger platform. Called Messenger Kids, the app was available in the US as of last year, and now Facebook is expanding its service to Canada and Peru, which brings support for Spanish and French along with it.
Announced via a press release, Facebook says its focus with this app is to Be Kind, BeRespectful, Be Safe, and Have Fun. The app includes age appropriate stickers, and will have a Google Assistant-esque “appreciation” feature in the future. This feature will “encourage kids to discover and express appreciation for their friends and family.”
Messenger Kids is now available on the App Store in the United States, Canada, and Peru as a free download.
