Post Explains Five Messaging Apps for Android Popular with Kids

Tampa, FL -- (SBWire) -- 03/13/2014 --Just when parents think they’ve mastered the trends their kids are following, the trends shift. In this case, texting – once a mainstay of youth communication – is quickly being replaced by social messaging apps. In fact, in 2014 it is projected that there will be 50 billion app-based messages sent as compared to 21 billion text messages.

The team at MamaBear Family Safety App recently posted a blog identifying five of the most popular messaging apps and discussing the trend.
