Setting up your children

My Kids is where your whole family lives in Qbit. Every child you’ve added is right there with their age band and status, and it’s where you add someone new.

1. Sign in with your own parent account.
2. Tap "My Kids" in the bar along the bottom of the screen. It’s the icon with a grown-up and a child.
3. Look for the heading "Your children's accounts". Each child gets a row of their own.
4. Tap anywhere on a child’s row to open everything for that child.

• My Kids is in the menu too, if that’s where your thumb goes first.
• Everything about one child lives on that child’s page, so there’s always one place to look.
• Rows work from the keyboard too. Land on one and press Enter or Space.

This is the big one. Your child gets their own Qbit, pitched at their age, and every setting stays in your hands. It takes about a minute.

1. Open "My Kids" and tap "+ Add child". If you haven’t added anyone yet, the button is right there in the card in the middle of the page.
2. Type your child’s first name. Up to 60 characters.
3. Pick their date of birth from the Month, Day and Year drop-downs.
4. If you like, add a few notes about them, for example "Loves astronomy, struggles with math". Up to 500 characters.
5. Tap "Create Child account".
6. Read the Direct Notice to Parents that appears, then tap the "I consent" button at the bottom.
7. That’s it. Qbit creates the account and takes you straight to your child’s page with a sign-in code already showing.

• The notes box appears only while you’re creating the account, so it’s worth jotting something in now.
• You can add up to ten children. At ten, the Add button greys out.
• The date of birth needs to put your child under 18. Qbit checks it on the screen and again on her side.

Good to know: Good to know: child accounts come with the Student & Family plan. On any other plan, the button opens the "Get Student & Family, $15 a month" page instead of the form.

Before your child’s account switches on, Qbit shows you exactly what she collects from them, what she does with it, and what you can ask her to delete. You read it, you agree, and your child is ready to go.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Fill in the add-child form and tap "Create Child account".
2. Read the five short sections: what’s collected, how it’s used, who else sees it, your rights, and how to reach Qbit.
3. Tap the button that reads "I consent and confirm I am the parent or legal guardian of" followed by your child’s name.
4. Your child’s account switches on right away.

• Take all the time you like. This screen has no timer.
• Questions about any of it go to parents@qbit.app.
• Your family subscription is what verifies you as the parent. That’s the whole check, with no extra ID and no separate card charge for consent.

Good to know: If you tap "Cancel" or the X instead, the account isn’t created. You can add your child again whenever you’re ready.

Your child gets Qbit on their own phone or tablet, and this is their way in. You make a 6 digit code, they type it or scan the QR code beside it, and they’re in.

1. Open "My Kids" and tap your child’s row.
2. Tap "Get a sign-in code" at the top of their page.
3. Give it a moment while the code is made.
4. Show your child the big code, split into two groups like "482 193" so it’s easy to read out. Or let them point their camera at the QR code.
5. Keep an eye on the countdown. It turns red in the last minute.
6. The moment your child enters it, the box turns green and says "They're in!"
7. Close it with the X or the Escape key.

• You’ll find the same code in three places: the button at the top, "Generate sign-in code" in the Sign-in section, and "+ Add another device" under Devices.
• Entering the code is the whole thing. There’s nothing extra for you to approve on your phone.
• The code stays put if you tap the background, so it won’t vanish before your child has read it.

Good to know: Good to know: a fresh code replaces any older one your child hasn’t used yet, and devices that are already signed in stay signed in.

Your child’s sign-in screen is made for a child: the Qbit character, six big boxes for the digits, and nothing else to wander off into. Scan your QR code and they’re signed in without typing a thing.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. On your child’s device, go to qbit.app/family/signin. Scanning the QR code from your phone goes straight there and fills itself in.
2. Type the six digits, one per box. The cursor hops forward on its own, and Backspace hops back.
3. Pasting the whole code at once fills all six boxes.
4. As soon as the sixth digit lands, the form sends itself. No button to press.
5. If you’ve set your teen up with a password, they can tap "Or use email and password" instead.

• Once the code is in front of them, your child can take it from there on their own.
• If a code doesn’t work, make a fresh one from My Kids.

Good to know: Every child account starts with you, which is why this page has no sign-up link and no close button.

It happens a lot, usually right after Qbit gets added to the home screen. Your child is looking at the grown-up sign-in card, which wants an email and a password. One tap gets them where they belong.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. On the sign-in card, tap "Signing in for a kid? Use a sign-in code".
2. Type in the sign-in code you made from "My Kids".
3. Your child is signed in on that device.

• That link sits on both the sign-up and the sign-in view, since a stranded child usually lands on sign-up first.
• The code is the whole step. There’s nothing for you to approve afterwards.

From 13, your teen can sign in on their own with an email address and a password, so there’s no more coming to find you for a code every time. You set it up, and you can take it back whenever you like.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Open "My Kids" and tap your teen’s row.
2. In the "Sign-in" section near the top, tap "Set sign-in password".
3. Enter the sign-in email they’ll use. Any address works, since it’s only a name for the account.
4. Enter a password of at least 8 characters and type it again to confirm.
5. Tap "Save password".
6. To take it back later, open the same box, tap "Revoke this child's sign-in password", then confirm.

• That email is for signing in and nothing else. Qbit never sends marketing to it.
• The button appears once the account status reads Active.

Good to know: Good to know: children under 13 sign in with codes, as the law requires. For them the button shows greyed out, with the line "Password sign-in unlocks when this child turns 13." If you correct a date of birth so a child is back under 13, any password on file is removed automatically.

Typed a nickname, or got the birth year wrong? Both take seconds to fix, and Qbit works out the age band again on her own.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Open "My Kids" and tap your child’s row.
2. In the "Profile" section, tap the pencil next to "Name" or next to "Date of birth".
3. For the name, type the new one and tap "Save".
4. For the date of birth, pick the Month, Day and Year, read the warning, then tap "Save".
5. The "Age band" row updates by itself. It follows the date of birth, so there’s nothing to set there.

• The age band shapes how Qbit talks to your child, so a wrong birth year is worth fixing straight away.

Good to know: Good to know: if the new date of birth puts your child under 13, any password sign-in on file is removed, as the law requires. The warning on screen mentions it before you save.

One switch per child decides whether they can upload and save real photographs and use the effects that put a real person into a picture. With it off, they can still ask Qbit to draw something brand new from a description.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Open "My Kids" and tap your child’s row.
2. Tap the section title "Photos & images" to open it.
3. Flip "Allow photos & image uploads" on or off.
4. A small line underneath confirms where you left it, for example "On. Your child can upload and save photos."

• The same switch decides whether your child can put a photo on one of their folders.
• Qbit’s image checks run either way, on or off.

Good to know: Good to know: this starts on. It’s enforced on Qbit’s side as well as in the app, so switching it off truly blocks uploads.

Your child can turn a conversation with Qbit into a link other people can open. You decide whether they can, and you get the full list of every link they’ve made, right down to how many times each one was opened.

1. Open "My Kids" and tap your child’s row.
2. Tap "Sharing with others" to open it.
3. Flip "Allow sharing links" on or off.
4. Scroll down to "Shared content" just underneath.
5. Each row shows the question, the date, how many times it was opened, and any addresses Qbit emailed it to.
6. To end a link, tap "Revoke" on it, or "Delete" if it’s already been opened. The row clears.

• Your child can revoke their own links, and only you can delete the rows, so the list you’re looking at stays complete.
• A high open count on one link is worth a chat, not a panic. Links get forwarded.

Good to know: Good to know: this starts on. Switching it off stops new links, and links already out there stay open until you revoke them one by one. Anyone can pass a copied link along, so the emailed addresses are only part of the audience.

Qbit remembers things from your child’s own chats: the people they mention, what they’re into, plans they keep coming back to. You can read the whole list in plain English and remove anything you’d rather she let go of.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Open "My Kids" and tap your child’s row.
2. Tap "What Qbit knows about your child" to open it.
3. Read down the list. Lines ending in a colon are headings, and everything else is one thing she’s picked up.
4. Tap the small × next to anything you want gone.
5. Confirm on the prompt, which explains what happens next.
6. The list reloads without it.

• It’s one of the quieter, kinder corners of Qbit, and worth a read now and then.
• It starts closed and says "Nothing here yet" until your child has chatted enough for her to notice anything.

Good to know: Good to know: Qbit stops using a removed item straight away and deletes the saved memory behind it. If your child brings the same thing up again later, it can come back, which tells you it’s still on their mind.

One child sending more pings your way than you’d like? You can quieten just one kind of notification, for just that child, and everyone else stays exactly as they are.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Open "My Kids" and tap your child’s row.
2. Tap "Notifications" to open it.
3. Flip "Security alerts" for sign-ins on a new device, sign-ins from a new country, or repeated failed passwords on this account.
4. Flip "Family milestones" for age band changes, such as turning 18.
5. Flip "Shared content" for when this child shares a conversation as a link.
6. Each one saves the moment you tap it and shows a small "Saved".

• Your own choices in "Settings" still sit on top of these, so a category muted there stays quiet everywhere.

Good to know: All three start on. "Shared content" is fully wired up today, and the other two save your choice now and will start sending as those pieces are finished.

One row for every device your child has signed in on, with when it was last used and roughly where. Spot one you don’t recognise and you can end that session on the spot.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Open "My Kids" and tap your child’s row.
2. Tap "Devices" to open it.
3. Read each row: the device label, "Last seen" and how long ago, the country, and the IP address.
4. Tap "Revoke" on anything you don’t recognise, then confirm.
5. Tap "+ Add another device" to make a fresh sign-in code for a new phone or tablet.

• Revoking ends that session right then. Your child will need a fresh code to get back on that device.
• An old tablet you gave away is exactly the kind of row worth revoking.

Good to know: Good to know: "Revoke" shows on devices that signed in with a code. For a teen who signed in with a password, change or revoke the password instead. Failed attempts live in Sign-in history.

A newest-first list of your child’s recent sign-ins. Flip one switch and you’ll see the attempts that didn’t work too, and why.

1. Open "My Kids" and tap your child’s row.
2. Tap "Sign-in history" to open it.
3. Read the successful ones: the device, how they signed in, how long ago, the country and the IP address.
4. Flip "Include failed sign-in attempts" to add the failures. Each is marked with a red ✕ and the reason.
5. Flip it back to go to successes only.

• The list keeps the 50 most recent events.
• A failed attempt or two is usually a mistyped code. A run of them from somewhere unfamiliar is worth a look at Security Alerts.

This one watches the front door. A sign-in on a new device, a sign-in from a new country, or a run of failed password attempts on your child’s account, and Qbit lets you know.

1. Open "My Kids" and tap your child’s row.
2. Tap "Security Alerts" to open it.
3. When all is well you see a shield and the line "All clear. We'll alert you here if anything looks off."
4. If something comes up, each alert tells you what happened, when, where, and from which IP address.
5. Tap "Acknowledge" to clear one. It drops off the list.

• You also get an email whenever one fires, so there’s no need to keep checking the page.

Good to know: Good to know: this section is about who’s getting into the account. The "Alerts" section higher up the page covers what’s said in chats.

Pause stops every sign-in and keeps everything your child has made. Delete removes the account for good, after a 30 day grace period in case you change your mind.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Open "My Kids" and tap your child’s row.
2. Tap "Account" to open it.
3. Tap "⏸ Pause" and confirm. The status pill changes to Paused, and the Sign-in section turns into a short note explaining that sign-in is paused.
4. To lift it, tap "▶ Resume" and confirm. Sign-ins work again straight away.
5. To remove the account, tap "Delete account" and confirm. That starts the 30 day countdown.

• Pause is the gentle one. Everything stays put, and it’s a tidy way to handle a grounded tablet or a long holiday.
• Pause and Resume swap places depending on where the account is right now.

Good to know: Good to know: a deleted account stops working right away, and full removal happens at 30 days. Re-add your child inside that window and it’s undone. While an account is paused you can’t make a sign-in code for it, so resume it first and then make a fresh one.

Why describe your child’s Qbit when you can go and look? This signs you in as them, so you see their home page, their history, their subjects and their settings exactly as they do.

1. Open "My Kids" and tap your child’s row.
2. Tap "Use Qbit as" followed by their name, next to the sign-in code button.
3. Read the confirmation and tap "Start".
4. Qbit reloads in your child’s view, with a banner across the top reading "You're using Qbit as" and their name.
5. Tap "Sign out" on that banner to come back to your own account.

• It’s the fastest way to answer "what can they actually do in there?"
• Your own session waits for you while you’re in there and comes back the moment you leave. The parked copy is cleared every time you exit.

Good to know: Good to know: this is a real child session, so anything you do in there behaves exactly as it would for them, alerts included. If you don’t see the button, it hasn’t been switched on for your account.

There’s a lot on a child’s page, so every long section folds down to a single title row, and Qbit remembers which ones you like open.

1. Tap a section title such as "Photos & images", "Alerts" or "Account".
2. The section opens or closes, and a chevron shows which way it’s facing. Enter and Space work too.
3. Whatever you leave open is remembered on this device, for all of your children, not just the one you were looking at.

• Check one thing often? Leave that section open once and it’ll be open next time.
• The first time, every foldable section starts closed to keep the page short. "Profile" and "Sign-in" at the top are always open.

Rather be shown than told? Short walkthrough videos live right on the My Kids page, and they play inside Qbit, so you stay right where you are.

1. Scroll down the "My Kids" page to "How-to videos".
2. Tap a card, for example "AI Features & Benefits", or the one on reviewing and tuning your child’s AI security alerts.
3. The video opens in Qbit’s own viewer.
4. Close the viewer to go back to where you were.

• Each video loads only when you tap its card.
• More cards are on the way, so it’s worth a glance down there now and then.

On the birthday that takes them past 17, the child link closes and your child takes over their own account. Their conversations, their credits and their connections all come with them.

1. Qbit’s daily check notices the birthday and moves the account on from being a child account.
2. You and your child both get an email about it.
3. Your now-adult child opens the link in their email.
4. They set their own email address and choose a password.
5. From then on they sign in by themselves, with everything they made still there.

• Your "Family milestones" notification category is what gives you the heads-up, so leave that one on if you’d like it.
• Everything stays where it is. They just stop signing in through the child path.

Good to know: Want the account turned into a fully standalone adult account? Support handles those one at a time, so just get in touch.

Every child row carries a small coloured pill, right next to their age band, showing where that account stands. Three words and you know.

Screenshots are on their way for this one.

1. Open "My Kids".
2. Read the pill on each row: "✓ Active", "⏸ Paused", or "⏳ Awaiting verification".
3. The same pill sits beside your child’s name at the top of their own page.

• Active means they can sign in. Paused means you stopped sign-ins yourself, and "▶ Resume" in the Account section brings them back.

Good to know: Good to know: a child you add today goes Active right away, so "Awaiting verification" only turns up on older accounts made before that changed.
