jelly beansUsing reminders in jelly beans
Reminders pop up with a soft chime, can be spoken by the assistant, and can reach phones, computers and parents' email.
What reminds you
- Calendar: 30 minutes before events, homework due tomorrow, birthdays.
- Daily to-dos: chores left at 5pm and the daily check-in time.
- Weekly and monthly: Family Meeting time and a monthly goal check.
- Waiting on a parent: requests, bean claims and friend requests.
- Good news: when a Buy Now is approved.
Choose how and when
- Tap the bell in the top menu, then Settings (or open My reminders).
- Tick how each kind reaches you: pop-up and sound, the assistant saying it, a phone or computer alert, or email for parents.
- Set quiet hours and the most reminders per day. Kids are quiet during school by default.
Parents manage everyone
Parents can change anyone's reminders in Parent admin, then Notifications. A parent's choice for a kid replaces the kid's own settings.
Phone and computer alerts
- Open My reminders on the device and tap Turn on alerts on this device.
- On iPhone or iPad, first tap Share, then Add to Home Screen, and open jelly beans from the Home Screen.
