Gabb Messenger Safe Video Calling for Friends & Family

Introducing Gabb Messenger Safe Video Calling for Friends & Family

Great news—your child can now make & receive safe video calls from friends & family who have Gabb Messenger installed on their phone! The Gabb Messenger app will be available to download from the Apple App Store & Google Play Store


Your child must send a one-time link to their friend or family member with an invite to join Gabb Messenger. They can only send a link to someone who is already a contact.

Gabb Messenger supports Safe Video Calling. If we detect nudity on the video call we’ll end the call, block video calling, & send you a notification.

For parents

The parent experience will remain the same. The Gabb Messenger Parent app will now be called Gabb Messenger. Download & log in to the updated Gabb Messenger app on your smartphone using your existing credentials (not your child’s). This allows you to have access to all of the Gabb Messenger parental controls.

Make sure video calling is enabled for your child’s Gabb Phone:

  1. Open the Gabb Messenger app on your smartphone.
  2. Tap your child’s profile icon, then tap Controls in the bottom-right corner.
  3. Toggle Safe Video Calling on.
  4. Open Gabb Messenger on your child’s Gabb Phone.
    • Tap Troubleshooting, then tap Sync Settings.

When your friend or family receives a one-time link from your child, they must sign up using their phone number. We’ll then verify that phone number using a code sent via text message to that number. They must upload a photo of themselves during the sign-up process and provide their name. After they complete signup, we’ll send an email to the primary parent with all of the contact’s information.

For kids

Kids can send a one-time link to friends & family to invite them to use Safe Video Calling on Gabb Messenger. This person must already be a contact in your child’s phone. 

Here’s how to send a link to a friend or family member:

  1. Open the Gabb Messenger app on your Gabb Phone.
  2. Select Contacts.
  3. Select the blue video camera icon next to the contact you want to send a Safe Video Calling invite.
    1. The camera icon will have a link icon in it. This indicates contacts where Safe Video Calling is currently locked. These are the contacts you’ll need to send an invitation to.
  4. Send the link to your contact. They must click this link to accept your invitation to Gabb Messenger Safe Video Calling. 

After the friend or family member completes the sign-up process your child will be able to make or receive Safe Video Calls to/from that contact.

If your friend or family member doesn’t accept your link, you can send them a new one. 

For friends & family

Follow these steps to sign up for Gabb Messenger as a friend or family member after receiving the one-time link from the child:

  1. Click the one-time link sent by the child.
  2. Download the Gabb Messenger app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
  3. Open Gabb Messenger and select Continue.
  4. Enter & verify your phone number. We’ll send you a code via text message. Enter this code into the Gabb Messenger app. 
  5. Enter your first & last name, then select Next.
  6. Take a selfie, then select Next
  7. Select I understand to agree to our safety monitoring, then select Accept.
  8. Enter the child’s contact details.
  9. Select the blue video camera icon to start a Safe Video Call.
