How do I add a new member to my family?
Use the KidiConnect™ smartphone app to invite your family to join KidiConnect™. Then, they can chat with your child too. Just follow these instructions if you want to add a new member to your family.
Open the KidiConnect™ smartphone app, and touch the Add Friend icon in the upper right corner of the main menu screen.
