How to find your code:
1. First open the Messenger Kids app.
2. Once you’re done with the above, tap your profile picture. Below your name, you’ll see a code. You can click it to copy the code, then share it with your friends. If you don’t see a code below your name, tap Ask to request one.

Before you proceed on the Messenger kids app, bear it at the back of your mind that when you ask to add a friend, your friend request goes to the parent managing your account. The parent on the other then decides whether to send the request.
Conversely, if you’re sending the request to another child, then that child’s parent must accept the request for you to be connected on Messenger Kids.
