Child App Permissions

After pairing, Fami Hero Kids checks required permissions and routes you to the first missing step.

Setup Order (Android)

On current Android builds, the permission flow is:

1. Location (Allow all the time for background tracking)
2. Notifications (Android 13+ runtime notification permission)
3. Notification access (system listener access)
4. Battery optimization off (keeps monitoring reliable in background)
5. Usage access (screen-time/app-usage tracking)
6. Display over other apps (blocking overlay for blocked apps)
7. Accessibility (detect uninstall/disable attempts)
8. Device Admin (extra uninstall protection)

The app automatically continues when each step is granted.

Why Each Permission Matters

• Location: updates child location and supports SOS location payloads.
• Notifications + Notification access: allows child-side safety and alert monitoring.
• Battery optimization off: reduces background kills by the OS.
• Usage access: powers app-limit timing and limit enforcement.
• Overlay: shows the block screen when a blocked/limited app is opened.
• Accessibility + Device Admin: strengthens uninstall protection flows.

Verify Permissions

From the child device:

1. Open Fami Hero Kids.
2. If a required permission is missing, setup screens appear again.
3. Complete the missing step, then continue to Home.

From the parent side:

1. Open the child profile in Fami Hero.
2. Refresh device status and confirm monitoring is healthy.

If a Permission Is Revoked Later

• Reopen Fami Hero Kids to trigger the missing-permission step.
• Re-enable the permission from Android settings.
• Return to the app and confirm setup continues to Home.
