About Fennec Messenger - Family Chat
Fennec Messenger is an instant messaging app designed for family members of all ages. With the group chat feature, family members – even in distant locations– can share their lives instantly. No Facebook account required.
With Fennec Messenger, you can enjoy free video calls, voice messages, fun stickers, and so much more!
· Video calling
· Photo sharing
· Voice messaging
· Doodles
· Fun stickers
· Peace of mind - A safe network
If you decided to let your child join the network - unlike existing instant messaging apps, strangers can not text your child on Fennec Messenger until you approve their friend request. You can manage their contacts whenever you need, and there are even more safety features that help your kids enjoy chatting in a safe and controlled environment.
· Supports smartwatch
Worried that your kids might spend too much time on a smartphone? Concerned that inappropriate content may reach your kids if they're on a smartphone? The Fennec Watch provides an alternative to smartphones and allows kids to still enjoy instant messaging and video calls.
· Find your kid's smartphone or smartwatch
With a built-in GPS locator, you can locate your child's smart device in an emergency, whether they're using a smartphone or smartwatch.
· Remind your family and friends of upcoming events
Never forget about an important date again; easily send event reminders to your family and friends via Fennec Messenger.
· Usage control
Worried that your kids may be chatting after bedtime? The Time Restrictions feature lets you limit the time when your kids can chat. For example, you can set up a time restriction from 11 PM to 6 AM; during this time, your child will not be allowed to access chat rooms.
