The Chat messaging feature on the watch is designed for Family Member group communication within a small, trusted circle.
Family Chat (Angel Watch App)
Family Chat is available only to registered Family Members within the Angel Watch app. Members in this group can:
- Track and monitor the wearer
- Make changes to the watch’s settings
- Manage the Family Group itself
Because of this level of access, the Family Group should be kept small and limited to trusted individuals.
To add additional Family Members:
- Each person must create their own Angel Watch app account using a unique email address
- They will scan the watch’s QR code, select their relationship to the wearer, and submit a request
- You, as the administrator, will receive a notification and can approve or reject the request
Communication With Everyone Else (WhatsApp, etc.)
For communication outside of the Family Group, we recommend using WhatsApp or similar apps.
These apps:
- Operate independently from the Angel Watch app
- Allow video calls, text messages, photos, and more
- Do not provide access to tracking or watch settings
- Help keep personal and administrative information private
This makes them a great option when you want communication only—without sharing access to the watch.
How to Set Up WhatsApp on the Watch
- Install and set up WhatsApp directly on the watch
- Register using the watch’s phone number
- The verification SMS will be delivered to the Angel Watch app under SMS Messages
If you do not receive the verification SMS:
- Temporarily insert the watch’s SIM card into your phone
- Complete WhatsApp verification over Wi-Fi
- Reinsert the SIM card back into the watch
- Reboot the watch to finalize setup
Using both features together allows you to keep family management secure while still giving your child the ability to communicate with others safely and independently.
If you have any questions or need help setting this up, feel free to reach out.
