Setting up School mode

School mode is a great way to enable only the features your child needs during school hours.
Open your Spacetalk app, tap on the device, click the 3 dots for ‘More’ and tap on School mode.
Tap the ‘+ School mode’ to create a new school mode routine.
Give the period a name, then set your start and end times, and open the ‘enable features’ menu to choose which features you want turned on. When the toggle is to the left and grey, the feature will be disabled. When the toggle is to the right and black, the feature will be available in school mode.
For safety reasons, the emergency call feature is always available during school mode and cannot be disabled.
As a design feature to ever prevent the watch becoming ‘stuck’ in school mode, it is not currently possible to set a school mode period overnight. If setting a School mode at night to ensure your child is not playing with their watch past bedtime, create two periods. One ending at 11:59pm and a new starting from 12:00am until wake up time.
What does “Invite Pending” status mean?
There are a few reasons on why the status of your invite is pending
- Your family member or friend that you invited has not accepted your invite yet
- Currently you cannot invite a family member or friend that already belongs to a family in Spacetalk. This gets reflected in your invite status which is “Invite Pending”
Something to keep in mind is that the invite link expiry limit is 24 hours. After this, the status changes to “Expired” and you need to send a new invite
