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.

Ratings and Reviews
Great Introduction to Texting
My son loves being able to text his family, and I loved that this app was COPPA Compliant. It’s safe and a great introduction to texting and communicating with family and friends within a safe environment that I can assure is age appropriate. Definitely give it a try for your littles who you don’t want having a smartphone yet!
Pretty good app!!
I think this app is a good app for people who don’t have a phone number and can’t text their friends. I have a number but one of my best friends doesn’t have a phone or a number. This app is helpful because I can text her even though she doesn’t have a phone. Also, you don’t have to have Facebook!!!!! My family doesn’t do Facebook and I was glad to find an app that doesn’t need Facebook.
I wish that this app gave me notifications when someone texted me. I also wish that in the beginning the app gave you a walk through of how to work everything. I am pretty good at figuring apps out but my friend could not figure out how to give herself a nickname and put a photo on her account. I tried to explain how to get a picture of yourself, but she didn’t seem to understand. The last bother is that my friend cannot see me in the video calls. I can see her but she can’t see me. Other than these things I think this app is awesome.
Thank you so much for making this app. It works so well for me and my friend. 👍🏻😁😆😎🤪
Developer Response ,
Thank you very much for your feedback. Regarding notifications, would you please log out of Fennec Messenger then log in again? And sometimes a reboot can help.
For the video call, please make sure that the permission of camera is on on your phone. You can find the related permission settings in Settings > Fennec
Thank you. If you need more assistance, please mail to support@fennec.me
nice to get close to friends! Just laggy
oki oki real good boi!! But me and mu Mom Tested it out and it’s pretty laggy. I barely use the doodle thing, but it’s super laggy and the size is so small ! Also the dang Call thing is REAL slow. Also the text thing. The stickers are real cute, but why do we need more friends on the app to unlock them??? Some of us don’t have close people to use the app with and just want to send cool stickers to a friend. Also the text screen lags and loads for a couple mins a lot . It’s oki though! I just think some bug fixes and it will be okay!! Recommend though, it’s a nice app to get close to friends! <3
Developer Response ,
Thank you very much for your feedback! If you encountered laggy issue, it's possible that the wifi/cellular signals are not that good. Would you please go somewhere where the signals are better then try again? If that still does not solve the problem, please contact support@fennec.me. We would love to assist you.
