Adding a senior or dependent — such as an elderly parent or a dependent adult — works just like adding a kid. You enter their name, age, and device, and Spacetalk sets up the right kind of account in the background.
How to add a senior or dependent
Step 1: Open Add a Senior or Dependent
You can do this in two ways:
During family setup: On the Is there anyone else you'd like to look after? screen, tap Add a Senior or Dependent.
At any other time: From the Spaces screen, tap the blue + button in the bottom-right corner, tap Add Member, then Invite a new member, and choose Add a Senior or Dependent.
Step 2: Enter their details
In the drawer that slides up, add a photo (optional) and their name, and set their age or date of birth. Then choose their device: Watch or Mobile.
Step 3: Complete setup for their device type
If they have a Spacetalk watch:
Tap Continue — you will pair the watch to their profile. If they have a Spacetalk Mobile SIM, their phone number is added automatically when you activate it. If you are using a different SIM, you will enter their number manually. See Pair your Spacetalk Watch.
If they have a mobile phone:
Enter their mobile number, or tap Select from Contacts to choose it from your address book, then tap Continue. Spacetalk sends them an SMS invitation — when they tap the link, they set up their own account and join your family.
