## What is Phonetag Family Messenger?

Phonetag — Their Own Messaging, No Phone Required

Let your child start messaging without giving them their own phone. 

Phonetag gives kids their own profile and conversations on a shared device. They can talk, draw, and message friends and family, even before they can read.

Simple, safe, and built for families.

Why families use Phonetag:

Kids get their own calm messaging space
Parents decide exactly who gets in
Phonetag fills the gap between no phone and a first phone
Kids build relationships by communicating
Works on phones, tablets, and shared devices
Voice messaging for early learners
Draw and send sketches
No ads. No data selling. No algorithm introducing strangers into your child’s world. Ever.

Can my child message anyone? No. Only people you approve can contact them.
Do both people need the app? Yes. Phonetag is a closed, safe network. 
Does my child need their own phone? No. Phonetag is designed for shared devices like phones and tablets.
How do I sign in? Apple or Google account is required. 

Phonetag makes it easy to say “yes” to messaging on your terms.
