How to post an update or photos on Home

Parents and guardians: under Posting as, tap a child to post as them.
Tap Post. If it reads like a plan (“Soccer Thursday at 4”), you’re asked whether to Add to calendar or Just post it.
To change it later, tap … on your post: Edit, Delete or Report.

What happens next

Everyone else in the family gets a notification, like “Ash posted”, unless they’ve turned Feed Notifications off.
Editing a post tells nobody, and the post says “edited”.

Good to know

Photos are shrunk before they’re sent, which also removes the location the camera saves in them.
A parent or guardian can take down anyone’s post, but only the person who wrote it can edit it.
Deleted posts are gone for good after 30 days.

FAQ

Questions about this

Who can see posts on the Kid Pickup feed?

Only the people in your family: the parents and anyone you’ve invited. There are no public profiles, followers or links.

Can my kids post?

Children don’t get accounts. A parent or guardian can post as one of them, and the post shows the child with “via” the parent underneath.
