Upon creating a new family account, the initial user is guided through a quick startup tutorial. This tutorial encourages the user to set up their family and invite additional family members to create their own profiles as necessary.
Once the tutorial is completed, Parent users can manage and add new users through the Settings menu.
To add a new user to your family account, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings
- Family tab
- Family Members
- Select the circle with a plus symbol
- Type in the new member’s name
- Tap Add
This creates a Linked user, which is typically best for small children. In many cases you’ll want to upgrade these profiles to either a Standard user (for older children or teenagers) or a Parent user (for parents, adult children, or guardians).
Upgrading requires inviting the person to set up their own access and take control of their profile. This will require the use of a unique email address for that user.
For step-by-step instructions, see How to Make a Linked User into a Standard or Parent User.
