Connect Thrive phone to the Parent app (for approvals)

Parents can manage the Thrive phone remotely from their own iPhone or Android smartphone. Things like app approvals, time limits and other features can all be done from the Thrive Parent app. Lets set this up.

  1. On the childs’ Thrive phone, open the Play store app nexus2cee_Play-Store-small(or any other blocked app). The Thrive phone will guide you to “Connect” to the parent phone.
  2. Hit Connect.
  3. Continue till you see the QR code. This QR code needs to be scanned from the Thrive Parent app running on the Parent’s phone (refer to the below section).

Install the Parent app on the Parent’s smartphone

  1. Install the Teracube Thrive Parent app on the parent’s phone
    GetItOnGooglePlay OR AppleAppStore
  2. Open the Teracube Thrive Parent app and login. Once inside, create a child profile.
  3. The parent app will ask you to scan the QR code on the thrive phone. Scan the QR code that showed on the childs’ Thrive phone.
  4. Once the QR code is scanned, both phones should show Connected.

How to approve apps

  1. Open the Teracube Thrive Parent app on the parent’s iPhone or Android. (If not set up already, click here)
  2. Go to the child profile > App controls
  3. Find the app under “Blocked apps”. Open the app listing and toggle “Allow App”. Hit Save Changes.
    App should get allowed on the Thrive phone.

Setup FAQ and troubleshooting

Q1 : I did everything but the Parent app does not seem to be approving apps

There might be some problem during set up. Here is how you can delete the old child profile and then add it again.

  1. Open the Parent app on your iPhone or Android

  2. Tap the exiting child profile

  3. Tap the 3-dots on the top-right and then tap “Manage”

  4. On the “Update” screen, tap the 3-dots and then tap “Delete profile”

  5. Now your old child profile should be deleted.

  6. On your child’s Thrive phone, open Play store or any other blocked app - it should be blocked. Tap the gear icon or “Connect” button and follow instructions till you see the QR code

  7. On the Parent app (running on the parent’s smartphone), add a new child profile and scan the QR code shown on thrive phone.

If these steps do not work, then please contact us using the contact information at the top of this guide.

Q2: Tapping on the child profile in Parent app does not do anything

It seems there was a problem during setup. Follow the instructions in the above question Q1 to delete the old child profile and repeat the setup again.

Q3: I do not see the "Add Child" button in Parent app dashboard

It is possible that your iPhone or Android display is zoomed in.

  1. Go to Parent’s phone Display settings (iPhone or Android) and change the display size to Standard.
  2. Power off the Parent phone and power it on again.
  3. Open the Parent app. You should see the “Add Child” button now.
Q4: The loading circle continues forever in the Parent app

If this happens, then close kill the Parent app by swiping it out. If you do not know how to kill the app, then power off the parent phone and power it back on. Now open the Parent app again.

Hi. I just got my son a new phone using teracube. I want to change the control settings for level of apps “allowed” to “everyone” so I can install the Family Link app. And I can’t figure out where to change these settings.

Welcome!

Have you setup the Parent app on another device and linked your son’s phone to that?
