Spacetalk watch users, both Loop and Adventurer can use the Buddies feature to request to add their own contacts to the watch. The request will be sent to the Spacetalk app where the watch is paired, and as the app user you’ll be able to confirm or deny this request.
How does a Buddy request work?
Initiating the request
A Buddy request is always initiated from Spacetalk watch:
Child 1 and Child 2 both have Spacetalk watches
Child 1 selects the Buddies option on their watch, and when their watch detects child 2, they select to add them as a buddy
Parent of Child 1 - Notification
The parent of child 1 received an in-app notification:
“[Child 1’s name] has requested to add [Child 2’s name] to a Space”
In the app, the parent can see a new Space labelled “[Child 1’s name] + [Child 2’s name] Space”
Parent of Child 2 – Notification and Action
The parent of child 2 will receive a prompt in their app:
“[Child 1’s name] has requested [Child 2’s name] to join their new Space”
The parent of child 2 can either approve or decline the request
If approved: parent of child 2’s app will now show a new Space labelled [Child 1’s name] + [Child 2’s name] Space
If declined: No new Space is created for Child 2 and Child 1’s Space will remain empty
