Qbit Teens

A Qbit of their own, from 13. You stay in the loop.

Teenagers from 13 to 17 can have a Qbit account of their own on a parent’s Qbit+ plan: their own conversations, folders, memory, school subjects and games, with no ads. You create the account, set the sign-in and choose the controls, and Qbit tells you when a conversation deserves a parent’s attention. Everything else is theirs.

In four lines

What we commit to.

  • Their own Qbit at 13. Not a hand-me-down login.
  • A parent creates it, approves it and pays for it.
  • Alerts reach you when a conversation needs an adult.
  • No ads, no messaging, no billing pages. Just Qbit.
Getting started

Four steps, and they’re off.

  1. Add your teen.On your Qbit+ plan, open Qbit Teens, add a first name and a date of birth, and read the Teen Account Notice, which spells out what Qbit collects and what you can see.
  2. Set the sign-in.You set the email and password your teen signs in with, and only you can change them. On their phone or tablet, a one-minute six-digit code signs them in and pairs the device to your account.
  3. Shape the controls.Photo options, the links they can send, notification switches and alert sensitivity, all per teen, all changeable any time.
  4. Let them go.Their Home arrives preset for their age band, 13 to 15 or 16 to 17, and moves on with their birthdays. Qbit does the rest.

For your teen

  • Their own conversations, folders and memory.

    Qbit remembers what they’ve said and picks up where they left off, on any device. Their Home is preset for their age and grows with them.

  • My Subjects, for school.

    A shelf of school subjects, each a folder with homework, pop quizzes and six badges to earn. Photograph the worksheet and the homework is logged.

  • Explanations that land.

    After explaining, Qbit asks whether it made sense, explains it differently if not, works one through, then offers one to try alone. A wrong quiz answer gets an explanation and one more question on the same idea.

  • The same Qbit.

    Friendly, honest, PG by default, and clear about being an AI, every time.

For you

  • Safety alerts.

    Qbit keeps an eye on every conversation and upload and raises an alert with the category, the time, the source and a short excerpt, by email, text or app push. You set the sensitivity per category, from off to more sensitive, per teen.

  • Sign-in notices.

    A heads-up for a new device, a new country or a run of failed password attempts, with every device listed and a Revoke button.

  • See what Qbit knows about your teen.

    The profile Qbit built and the facts your teen added, each removable by you. And Use Qbit as shows you exactly what they see, with a banner on the whole time.

  • A recap in your inbox.

    A daily or weekly recap email per teen, at the time you choose. Pause, resume or delete the account whenever you need to; delete has a 30-day window to change your mind.

Turning 18

Their eighteenth birthday means a lot. Nothing is lost.

On the day, the account leaves the teen path. You both get an email, the new adult confirms their email address and sets a password of their own, and everything stays: conversations, folders, memory, subjects and badges. The Qbit that knew them at 13 still knows them at 18.

How Qbit’s memory works

  • Everything stays. Nothing starts over.
  • You both hear about it by email.
  • They confirm their email and set their own password.
  • The parent pages close. Their Qbit carries on.
Questions parents ask

Straight answers about Qbit Teens.

Does my teen need their own plan?

No. Teen accounts are included with a parent’s Qbit+ plan. A free account can’t add a teen.

What is the Teen Account Notice?

The notice you read and accept on your teen’s behalf before the account is created. It spells out what Qbit collects and what you can see: safety alerts with short excerpts, sign-ins and devices, what Qbit knows about your teen, and Use Qbit as.

Can my teen change their password?

No. You set the email and password they sign in with, and only you can change them. A one-minute code signs them in on a new phone or tablet without the password changing hands.

Does my teen see ads?

No. Ads, the plans and billing pages and the parent pages aren’t part of a teen’s Qbit, and there’s no messaging.

How sensitive are the alerts?

That’s yours to set. Each category has four levels, from off to more sensitive, per teen, and alerts come by email, text or app push. Every alert lands on one Alerts page where you can save, archive, print or delete it.

What happens when my teen turns 18?

The account leaves the teen path on their birthday. You both get an email, the new adult confirms their email and sets a password, and everything stays.
