What can I manage for a kid or dependant in the Spacetalk App?

Setting

What you can do

Device

Tap Pair a watch to add a watch, or Link a mobile to set them up on a phone instead. A profile can use either a watch or a mobile — not both.

Spaces they're in

See which Spaces they belong to and adjust what they share in each Space. If your app opens on a map, you can also tap the Space name at the top of the map and choose the Space, tap their card, then tap User permissions. The switches describe what they share, for example Share their location and Let others message them. See What are Spaces and how do I use them?.

Profile

Update their display name and profile photo. A new profile photo can take 2 to 3 minutes to show under Your kids and dependants in your Profile.

Security

Manage blocked users. See Block a User in a Space.

Member admins

View and add other adults — such as another parent or carer — who can help manage this person. You can also disconnect the kid from your account here, which transfers ownership to the other admin.
