How to start a group chat
Designed for shared family conversations
Separate by design
Group chats are separate from individual conversations. Parent monitoring applies without mixing private kid threads into family chats.
Simple and intuitive
Works like everyday messaging — with Otto in the loop for planning, summaries, and kid-friendly explanations.
You're in control
Join by invitation. Parents see who's in the chat, can set rules, and more.
