Messaging apps for DC on iPad/kindle fire/laptop

Looking for ideas to keep the DC in touch with their friends. They don't have phones so wondered if anyone has done similar and can share ideas that work in different platforms. A few of their mates have iPhones or iPads so I'm thinking iMessage but I've never actually used it. The Kindles are a bit overloaded and slow so unlikely to set up on this but could do it on the laptop for them. Slack maybe? Any ideas welcome. Thanks!

No idea re iMessage. Mine only have kindle fires. They chat to friends on roblox, and use the Alexa app to contact one another. Not sure how/ if that’d work outside the family?

Thanks, yes mine have their friends on Roblox. I might even suggest email to some other parents so they can send messages and pictures. Just thinking of how to keep them in touch. Will Google for ideas too but there's usually someone on Mumsnet who's already tried it 😁
