Frequently asked questions
For setup, changing phones, PINs, voice commands and everything else: 📖 Step-by-step user guide
Who buys the subscription? Does each family member pay?
No. The subscription belongs to the family. Only one member buys it; your elder and everyone else share the plan. Changes and cancellation are made from the buyer’s store account. If two people bought by mistake, the second buyer should cancel in the store.
Can I see my elder’s location?
Yes, with their approval. You tap “Ask location”, a huge approve button appears on your elder’s screen, and once approved the location reaches you and opens in Google Maps. It can be one-off or live for 1 hour. There is no secret tracking.
How do 10-second video messages work?
A video is at most 10 seconds and goes to one chosen person only. It is end-to-end encrypted and deleted from the server once opened. It is available in Family and Family Plus, not in Basic.
How do video calls work?
Your elder taps “Video call” on a contact, or presses TALK and says “video call Yağız”. When you call, their phone rings like a phone call and they answer with a big ANSWER button. Up to 8 people can be in one call. Monthly minutes depend on the plan: Basic 30, Family 60, Family Plus 120; if they run out you can add +30 extra minutes. Minutes are shared by the whole family and count only while at least two people are in the call. Video calls are off during the 14-day trial. Calls are not recorded; the connection is encrypted but, unlike messages, not end-to-end encrypted.
What happens if our video call minutes run out?
Don’t worry. In the app, tap “Add minutes” next to the “Video call” button or open Plans, and add +30 minutes, as many times as you like. Extra minutes never expire, are shared by the whole family and are used after your monthly minutes. Extra minutes are only for video calls; messages, voice-command calling, location, photos, reminders and every other feature in your plan are included in your subscription at no extra cost.
How do I invite someone who doesn’t have the app?
During the call, tap “Add person” and send the link via WhatsApp or SMS. The link is valid for 30 minutes and for one person. The guest taps it, types their name and asks to join from the browser; they can’t get in until you tap “Accept”. Up to 2 guests can join a call. Guest time is taken from your family’s monthly minutes. Only family members can invite guests.
My elder has an iPhone. Can we use it?
Yes. The iPhone version is coming and works together with Android. Because of Apple’s rules, on iPhone the message screen doesn’t open by itself on the lock screen; it arrives as a notification.
Is Ebeveynim an emergency app?
No. It is a calling and messaging app for family use. Messages and notifications can be delayed during internet or phone outages. In emergencies always use the official emergency numbers.
How do I cancel, and how do I delete my data?
To cancel, on Android go to Google Play → Payments & subscriptions, on iPhone to Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. To delete your data use “Delete my account and data” in the app; details are on the account deletion page.
Simple for your elders, peace of mind for your family.
