I recently set up a child account for my little brother who just turned 7. I’ve enabled the settings so he can add friends and message them, but whenever we try to send messages, the app or PlayStation says it’s not allowed for his account. I’m not sure if it’s an age thing or something else, because I’ve double-checked the settings and confirmed everything is allowed. Anyone know how to fix this?

It looks like the messaging feature might not be allowed for child accounts under the age of 8, even if he just turned 7. So, unfortunately, he may need to wait until he turns 8 to use the messaging system.
