A CONVERSATION WORTH HAVING
Help your family understand invitations, device access, local history and paid usage.
Practical guidance for a thoughtful family conversation.
AT A GLANCE
Contact links and pairing QR have different purposes.
Group creation and group activity are different.
Pairing is not history synchronization or recovery.
THE STARTING POINT
Explain the display name, local PIN or pattern and no-recovery warning. Contact invitations are temporary links; pairing QR is for authorizing a person's own device. A contact invitation never gives you access to another person's vault.
A CLEAR NEXT STEP
Discuss who may be invited, which invitations to accept and how to verify unfamiliar people. Teach blocking, group leaving and discreet notification previews. These controls help users manage communication; they do not verify someone's intentions.
HELPFUL CONTROL, EXPLAINED
A walkthrough is more useful when everyone understands why a control exists. Hidden previews make notifications discreet. Blocking stops unwanted communication. A local lock protects access to retained history when a device is unattended.
Discuss payment before a group action starts. Receiving is free, while sending or calling may create paid usage. Creating a free group is different from having free activity inside it.
Pairing does not grant a parent access to another person’s vault. These guides help explain practical choices; they do not establish remote monitoring, tracking or recovery of deleted content.
Kids & teens →THE DETAILS THAT MATTER
Follow the controls, delivery rules and responsibilities that apply to parents’ guide.
Free group creation does not make group activity free. The sender pays for group messages/files; the initiating caller pays for group calls. Review the applicable tariffs and plan allowances before paid actions.
Only one authorized device communicates at a time. Pairing does not synchronize history or create a backup. Revoking a device stops future authority but does not remotely delete copies already on it.
It is off by default. When enabled, three consecutive completed incorrect Sornix PIN/pattern submissions erase this device's vault and keys. A correct third submission resets the counter without wiping. Someone with access can deliberately trigger deletion, so discuss the irreversible consequence first.
Sornix does not provide remote parental monitoring, access to children’s messages, location tracking or recovery of deleted content. Follow Sornix’s eligibility rules and the supervision appropriate to your circumstances.
A parent helps a teenager recognize a genuine invitation and configure hidden previews. They explain how to block an unwanted contact and why sharing a pairing QR is different from sending an invitation.
YOUR CONVERSATION. YOUR NEXT STEP.
Continue in Sornix to set up your identity, manage your devices and use the communication tools. Choose your contacts deliberately, protect local access and review paid usage before starting.
