When a new family account is created, the initial user is presented with a quick startup guide which encourages them to create their family and then to invite family members to create their own user profiles as needed. When the startup guide is complete, Parent users can add new users in Settings.
To add a new user to your family account, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings
- Family → Family Members
- Tap the green circle with plus symbol
- Type the new member’s name
- Select Permissions
- Choose permission type: Parent, Teenager, Child, Young Child
- 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.
For step-by-step instructions, see How to Make a Linked User into a Standard or Parent User.
