My Child has an iOS device and I have an Android. How to setup Family Sharing?

Hello Zoobly Parent 👋

To set up the Zoobly app on your child’s iOS device, you’ll need to enable Family Sharing first for your child's Apple account.

If your child’s iPhone or iPad is the only Apple device in your home and you’re using an Android device, the setup may take a few extra steps — but don’t worry, it’s worth it. Once Zoobly is installed, you’ll have complete visibility and control over your child’s device activity.

Additional Steps Involved

• Create a new Apple account for yourself using your child’s device (if you don’t already have one). Learn more
• Enable Family Sharing on the device. Learn more
• Add your child’s Apple account under Family Sharing.

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Open Settings on your child’s iOS device.
2. Sign out of the child's Apple account (if one is already logged in).
3. Create an Apple account for yourself (the zoobly account owner) and sign in.
4. Enable Family Sharing.
5. Add your child’s Apple account under Family Sharing.
6. Sign out of your parent Apple account and sign back in using your child’s Apple account.
7. Follow the steps in our [installation guide] to install and set up the zoobly app on your child’s device.

Tip: We recommend keeping the “Ask to Buy” feature turned off in the child’s Apple account to avoid needing parental approval for every app installation.

Once the setup is complete, you can manage and customize zoobly settings from anywhere — simply log in to your zoobly account on any browser or device.

You can also install the zoobly Parent App on your Android phone to monitor and manage your child’s screen time effortlessly — all from one place.
