Support & Parent Guide

🛡️ How do I open the Parent Menu / Settings on my Apple Watch?

TinyTouch features a toddler-proof Parent Shield so your child cannot accidentally exit into settings:

1. Look for the small Lock icon in the top-left corner of the watch screen.
2. Press and hold this icon for 3 full seconds.
3. A circular charging ring will fill with rhythmic haptic ticks. Once full, the Parent Dashboard will open!
4. Note: Quick taps will intentionally be ignored to keep toddlers in the game.

🚨 How do I prevent my toddler from accidentally calling 911 (Emergency SOS)?

Toddlers naturally grip the side of your Apple Watch, which can hold down the Side Button. By default, watchOS automatically dials emergency services after 5 seconds of holding the side button. You can easily turn this auto-dial feature off:

1. Open the Watch app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap Emergency SOS.
3. Turn OFF "Hold Side Button to Dial".
4. Now, holding the side button will display the power/SOS sliders rather than immediately calling emergency services.

💧 Can I completely lock the touchscreen so nothing reacts to touches?

Yes! You can use Apple Watch's built-in Water Lock feature:

1. Launch TinyTouch on your Apple Watch.
2. Open Control Center (swipe up or press Side Button on watchOS 10+).
3. Tap the Water Droplet icon.
4. The screen will now completely ignore all toddler finger taps, swipes, and presses while the game visuals remain on screen.
5. To unlock, press and hold the Digital Crown for 2 seconds.

📱 How do I switch games or set timers from my iPhone?

Open TinyTouch Remote on your iPhone while the app is active on your Apple Watch:

1. Under Switch Game on Watch, tap any of the 5 activity icons (Bubble Pop, Animal Friends, Sound Garden, Magic Sparkles, or Sleepy Moon) to immediately switch activities on the watch.
2. Under Session Timer, select 3m, 5m, 10m, or Unlimited.
3. Tap Start Calming Lullaby Now at any time to smoothly transition the watch to the bedtime lullaby mode without taking the watch away.

🔒 Does TinyTouch collect any personal data?

Never. TinyTouch collects zero data, has no accounts, no ads, and no tracking. All communication between your iPhone and Apple Watch occurs directly and locally over encrypted Bluetooth/Wi-Fi.
