Welcome to Spacetalk! Setting up your account takes just a few minutes.
This guide walks you through downloading the app, creating your account, and getting ready to set up your family.
Step 1: Download the app
Download the Spacetalk app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store, or search for “Spacetalk” in your store.
Step 2: Create your account
Open the app. Enter your email address or mobile number, then tap Continue. We’ll send a one-time code by email or SMS, depending on what you entered.
Enter the one-time code to confirm your account.
ℹ️ If you enter an incorrect code, you have 2 more attempts. After 3 attempts, you’ll be temporarily locked out.
To keep your account secure, confirm your second detail: if you signed up with an email, enter your mobile number (or the reverse), then enter the one-time code we send.
ℹ️ Returning user? Open the app and tap Log In, then enter your details to receive a one-time code.
Step 3: Create your profile
Add a photo (optional) and your name, then tap Continue. This is what other family members will see.
Step 4: A quick look at Spacetalk
You will get a welcome screen, tap Get started.
After that, you’ll see a few short screens introducing what you can do with Spacetalk. Tap through them to continue.
Step 5: Allow location access
Spacetalk uses location to keep your family connected. You’ll be guided through the permissions one screen at a time — tap Allow on each to continue.
We recommend allowing “Always” (background) location access. This lets Spacetalk keep sharing location with the people you invite, even when the app isn’t open — so your family can see each other on the map, and check-ins and arrival updates keep working reliably in the background.
ℹ️ Location is only shared with the family members you invite. You control who sees what.
You’re ready — set up your family
That’s your account set up. Next, you’ll be taken to Let’s set up your family, where you can add your kids and the people you look after. See “Set up your family” to continue.
