Setting up Messenger on daughters phone

HELP!!! Any techie people around who can help me out?!

My DD (11) has just got her first mobile. Am trying to set up Messenger as she has several chats on there with friends that are currently all though my phone / account.

From googling I understood I needed to set up a FB profile in order to set up Messenger but could delete it once done.

So, we did that, but we can’t work out how to message her contacts / friends. She has some people (me!) saved in her address book but we can’t get those on to Messenger, and I can’t find her on my Messenger using her phone number which apparently I should be able to do. I know you don’t have to be FB friends with people to message them but I’m going round in circles trying to work it out.

Can anyone help a technophobe out?!

Have you downloaded the messenger app from the app store or play store?

Yep, downloaded from the App Store.

I meant to say, I put various restrictions on her phone so I don’t know if one of them is stopping it all working, but if it is I don’t know which!
