Make it yours
Notifications & quiet hours
Which phones get reminders, and when they stay quiet.
Install iPlanFamily from the App Store, turn this phone on and allow notifications, then choose whose reminders it gets. Send yourself a test notification to check it works. Turning one phone off doesn't turn off other phones or change medicine reminders.
In Playful, urgent reminders are AHEM 👀 and routine ones psst…; in Simple, they're Alerts and Nudges. Pick a sound pack and which reminders play a sound.
Quiet hours pause non-urgent notifications overnight and send one morning summary. Adults set their own; parents set kids' hours or let older kids choose their own.
Setting up a phone for the first time, or not getting anything? Follow Turn on notifications, step by step.
Quiet hours use the family time zone. Medicine, urgent alerts and reminders with a real time still arrive; date-only birthdays and vaccine reminders wait. Using Safari on iPhone? Choose Share → Add to Home Screen, open from that icon and allow notifications.
