Buying and unlocking
- On a parent device, open the settings and then “Juhupost Family”.
- Buy Family through Google Play. You pay once; no subscription is set up.
- It unlocks all of your family's devices straight away. The child device learns about it through the mailbox; no server of ours is involved.
On a new parent device, “Restore purchase” brings it back. If several parent devices use different Google accounts, the unlock still stays in place.
The instant alert
Without Family, you learn about your child's requests the next time your devices check the mailbox. You choose when that is (more about this). With Family, your child's device wakes your devices right away. This uses an empty wake-up call through Google. It only contains the device's identifier, no content. You can switch the instant alert off at any time.
