Hi there! I see that when you try to call someone using the Messenger Kids app, the call immediately hangs up. To help get to the bottom of this, could you tell me if this happens with all contacts or just specific ones? Also, has this problem started recently after any app or system updates?
While you get that info, I can guide you through some common fixes for this issue on your Android 10 device using the WebKit browser:
1. Update the Messenger Kids App: Make sure the app is updated to the latest version available in the Google Play Store. Updates often fix call glitches.
2. Restart your Device: Sometimes a simple reboot can clear temporary glitches affecting calls.
3. Check Network Connection: Ensure your internet connection is stable. If you’re on Wi-Fi, try switching to mobile data or vice versa to test.
4. Clear Cache and App Data: - Go to Settings > Apps & Notifications > Messenger Kids. - Tap Storage & cache. - First tap Clear cache, then Clear storage/data (note: clearing data may require re-login or app setup).
5. Check App Permissions: - Under the same Messenger Kids app settings, check that permissions for Microphone and Camera are enabled, as these are required for calls.
6. Ensure Calls Are Allowed: Sometimes parental controls or device settings might block outgoing calls from Messenger Kids. Double-check any such restrictions.
7. Disable Do Not Disturb Mode: Make sure Do Not Disturb is off as it can interfere with call connectivity.
If you have already tried some of these, please let me know which ones, and we can look into more advanced troubleshooting or account-related issues.
Also, if it helps, there are community posts and videos addressing this call hang-up glitch with Messenger Kids apps that suggest similar steps and fixes12.
Let me know how it goes or if you want me to help walk through any of these steps! Are you able to call at all, or does it hang up every time immediately?
