TickTalk now supports SMS messaging! Families can now stay connected more easily than ever through text messaging directly from phone to watch.
With our new SMS feature, TickTalk users can enjoy:
- Two-way text messaging between TickTalk 5 and smartphones
- Voice memos for instant personal messages to family
- Emojis and GIFs to make conversations more fun and expressive
- Group chats with friends and family
- For group chats: Create group on phone through SMS > add the TickTalk 5 watch number, or any other trusted contact number to begin group chat
Parents must add all trusted contacts within the TickTalk app before anyone can send or receive SMS messages with the watch. This ensures that only verified family members and friends can connect with the user.
