When set up with a Facebook account, the Messenger application can synchronize with all contacts in your phone book as well as Facebook friends.

If you are worried about who might be on your child's contact list or prefer to limit who your child's contacts are to Facebook friends only.

This can be done by omitting the contact synchronization option when downloading the application or disabling it in the configuration. Go to Settings > People > Disable Synchronized Contacts.

Another privacy setting that parents should be aware of is "Who can contact me". By default, this Facebook setting is set to 'basic filtering'.

This means that friends and people you might know can contact you on Facebook with Messenger. To avoid the risk of contact with someone your child doesn't know.

It is recommended to change this setting to a strict filter, this only applies when a user has set up a Messenger account using Facebook. To limit who can contact your children.

Go to Settings > Select Privacy > Select Editing in "What messages do I want to filter in my inbox? "Change from basic filtering to strict filtering.
