Full description
Ping – Safe messaging for families Ping is a messaging app built for children and families — designed from the ground up with safety, privacy, and parental control in mind. With Ping, children can message and call the people who matter, while parents stay in control — without reading every message. HOW PING WORKS - Parents create a family account and set everything up first - Children can only message and call parent-approved contacts - Friends connect safely via in-person QR codes - No public profiles. No open discovery. No strangers. BUILT FOR PARENTS - Approve and manage all contacts and group chats - Decide which features are enabled - Choose whether each child can make or receive voice calls - Set quiet time for evenings or school hours - Remove access or disable accounts anytime LOVED BY KIDS - Simple, friendly design - Voice calls with playful sound effects - Fun avatars and reactions - Group chats with friends - No ads, no algorithms, no distractions PRIVACY & SAFETY BY DESIGN Ping is built differently from traditional messaging apps: - No public usernames or searchable profiles - No ads, no behavioral tracking - No selling or sharing personal data - Children don’t need a phone number or email address - Ping doesn't record or store call audio - Parents always know who their child can talk to We collect only what’s necessary to make the app work — nothing more. FOR THE PRIVACY-CONSCIOUS PARENTS (YES, YOU) If you care deeply about privacy, Ping is built for you: - Photos are processed to remove unnecessary metadata - Messages are end-to-end encrypted - Child-friendly stickers and reactions, built directly into the app — never pulled from external providers. - We minimize data by design - No trackers, no profiling, no data resale. Ever. We believe families shouldn’t have to trade their children’s privacy for “free” apps. SIMPLE TO GET STARTED - Create a parent account - Add your child and choose their settings - Set up your child’s device with a secure QR scan - Start using Ping safely in minutes WHY PING COSTS MONEY Ping is a paid service so we can stay independent, ad-free, and privacy-first. You pay with money — not with your family’s data. Download Ping and give your family a calmer, safer way to message and call.

What's new

• New chat themes — Children can now pick a theme for their chats, with illustrated scenes and gentle animations. • Recommend Ping, unlock extras — When a family you recommend gets set up and starts chatting, you can both unlock more themes or an exclusive sticker pack. • Clearer child cards — Each child's card now shows at a glance how messages, calls, sharing and quiet time are set up.
