Check out all of the new features and updates that are available for JrTrack 4 in this release.
What's new:
ONE
Bluetooth
Pair with Bluetooth devices.
Speakers, Earbuds, you name it! If it's got Bluetooth, JrTrack 4 can pair with it.
You can access Bluetooth on the watch by going to Settings > Bluetooth. From here you can toggle it on or off, and select which device you’d like to pair with. You can now pair your watch with earbuds, speakers, and more!
*Bluetooth is currently limited to music, and calls cannot yet be routed through a connected bluetooth device.
TWO
Quick Settings
Don't call it control center!
To access Quick Settings, long-press the power button. Here you can access Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, brightness, volume , toggle mute, flashlight, device check-in, main settings, power off, and restart. Simply tap the +/- on the brightness and volume to adjust. Swipe up to see the rest of the quick settings options.
THREE
Audio Message Transcription
Listen and read messages while you’re on the go!
When sending a voice/audio message from the JrTrack 4 to Primary or Guardian*, the watch will now send a text transcription of the message together with the audio recording.
By default, this feature is disabled. To enable it, open the watch and go to Settings > Device settings > Text options, Transcribe voice notes. Here you can enable or disable the feature.
*Audio message transcription is only available for Guardians and the Primary Mission Control Admin. Contacts cannot yet receive transcriptions.
FOUR
Watch-Set Alarms
Now they'll never miss a meeting.
Kids can now create their own alarms from the watch, in addition to viewing the parent-created alarms set from the parent app. They can add an alarm name, start time, days of the week and enable/disable each alarm they've set on the watch.
To set an alarm, open the yellow alarms app on the watch and tap “New alarm”
This is great for allowing your child to build responsibility and create healthy routines! (Or just not be late!)
FIVE
Location Check-Ins
We made "I've arrived and I'm safe" into a button.
Kids can now send a location update to the parent through the watch by doing a “check-in”. Accessible through the quick settings menu.
To send a Check-in, hold the power button until the quick settings menu appears. Then, scroll down and tap the location pin icon, which will then turn to a green check. You've checked in!
When activated, it will send a Check-in notification and the current location to the parent app.
