Went through the process of setting the account and adding people, but the home screen is blank. The people added, though we cant see them, can message my kid, but my kid can't send messages out without using the notification of receiving a message that only drops down for a couple seconds before it's gone. It like this across three different devices. In the parent portal, I can see who has messaged my kid, but not what. Even the "Help Center" comes up blank.

The app is overall great, sure ot can be a bit glitchy here and there, but the bugs are rarely even big. The only thing that's really annoying, is that on some devices you can have a full theme, on others you can decorate it a little bit, and on aome (like mine) you're stuck with a dark blue, amd cannot change it. I've tried many different ways, but it just doesn't work. It's not that much of a big deal, but it's just a really annoying bug :/

I love messenger kids, but lately it's been really really glitchy. Can someone please work on fixing the bugs? Specifically, when somebody sends me a bunch of photos at once, no matter which one I click on, it only shows me the first photo they sent. It makes it really hard to see photos. Also something that's really bothering me is that certain people's profile pictures go blank, and won't show up, which is confusing, because everybody looks the same. Thanks for whoever is reading this
