Device readiness

Check the family devices before you begin.

Kidder’s documented launch platform is Android. Device behavior and settings can vary, and public app acquisition is not yet linked from this website.

Platform status

One documented launch platform.

The current compatibility and setup guidance is focused on Android. A public Play Store or other acquisition destination has not been published on this website.

Use the checks below to prepare the devices involved in setup. The public acquisition link is still pending.

Before installation

Prepare both sides of the family setup.

Parent

Parent device

  • The device used to create and manage the family space
  • A stable internet connection during installation and pairing
  • Access to review account and family settings
Child

Child device

  • A supported Android device intended for the child profile
  • The device available during pairing and permission review
  • Settings access needed to complete the selected protection setup

Exact requirements can vary by device and software configuration. Kidder does not claim support for every Android device.

Device considerations

Android settings can look different across devices.

Labels, permission screens, and background-management settings may vary by software configuration. Follow the wording shown on the device in front of you.

01

Keep software current

Review available system updates and restart the device if the setup flow behaves unexpectedly.

02

Stay connected

Keep both devices online and nearby while installing, pairing, or applying protection settings.

03

Read each screen

Permission names and settings paths can differ. Review the stated purpose before continuing.

Permissions overview

Requested access should connect to a clear purpose.

The exact request depends on the feature and device configuration. During setup, review what is being requested and why before enabling it.
