You have free access to controls of the KidGram messenger as a part of an initial welcome bonus. It is done so that you can get acquainted with the functionality of the service.
We do not ask you to provide your credit card information to make an advance payment in order to make the whole process simpler and more convenient for you.
We hope that in the future, an inexpensive ELARI Premium subscription won't seem too high a price for this crucial service. Your support through the subscription will allow us to further improve this service aimed at the good-natured development of kids.
After the initial free trial expires, the control of KidGram through the ELARI SafeFamily application will be blocked for smartphones and tablets ONLY. Also, in order to prevent the uncontrolled use of KidGram by a child, access to KidGram TV, Chats and Contacts tabs in KidGram will be temporarily blocked. During the blocking of access, a notification will be displayed both in the parent's and the kid's applications.
To subscribe to ELARI Premium:
1. In the ELARI SafeFamily app, select a kid's smartphone or a tablet with KidGram installed.
2. In the left upper corner of the SafeFamily home screen open Menu or Settings.
3. Tap My Subscriptions.

The KidGram account management is synced across all Android/iOS devices with the same KidGram account.
You just need to add any Android/iOS device with your child’s KidGram account. Other Android/iOS devices will be managed through the device you have already added.
Please note! If your kid uses a watch with KidGram and a smartphone/tablet with KidGram, then both devices must be added to the ELARI SafeFamily app.
The process of binding to the second and subsequent ELARI SafeFamily parent accounts is carried out in the same way as binding to the first ELARI SafeFamily parent account.

3. Find "Software Update" in settings and tap it.
4. Click "Check" to verify the firmware version is up to date.

During the update process the watch may reboot itself several times - this is normal. After the process is completed a notification will appear on the watch screen, verifying the update has been successfully installed. Please repeat the update procedure to make sure you are using the latest software version.
