From the parent account to their own phone

When your child gets their first phone of their own, you bring them onto it with a code from your cori account. Your child signs in with it without an email address, and appointments, answers and choirs stay as they were. You keep following your child: until 16 the parents decide, from 16 your child decides themselves.

How your child gets onto their own phone

1. 1
   Show the code

   Open Settings›Family and tap your child. Under "A phone of their own for Mia", tap Show code. This works in the app and in the browser.

2. 2
   Open cori on your child's phone

   Install cori on your child's phone. On the welcome screen or at sign-in you'll see "I have a code".

3. 3
   Scan or type in the code

   The "Code for Mia" window shows a QR code and the six-character code: "Valid for 15 minutes and only once." Scan the QR code with the camera on your child's phone, or type the code in there under "I have a code".

4. 4
   Done

   Your child sees "Hi Mia!" and a few short sentences under "Good to know". On your side, the window shows "Mia is now signed in on their own phone." Tap Done.

The first screen explains to your child that they now answer their appointments themselves and that their parents see the answers, but not their chats. It also says: "Is someone writing you something weird? Block the chat and tell your choir leader or your parents."

What changes afterwards

• Your child answers their appointments themselves. You still see the answers, and as long as an answer is still open, you can answer for your child. Your child sees that.
• Your child gets the choir's chats. If the choir leadership hasn't approved them yet, the chats only open after that. You don't see their chats or exercises. Until 16, the fixed rules from Young singers under 16 apply to your child.
• Under Settings›Parental approval, your child sees who follows them, for example "Sandra follows you".
• You only keep seeing the choir's songs as long as another child of yours there doesn't have their own phone.

A new phone

If the phone gets lost or a new one arrives, open your child under Settings›Family and tap Show code under "New phone for Mia". "With the code, Mia signs in on the new phone. The previous phone gets signed out." A second parent learns about this via notification and email. A new code is only available as long as your child is under 16 and only signs in with a code.

As long as your child hasn't done that in this last year, your Family section shows "Own phone · no email address yet".

At 16

The under-16 rules end on the first of the month after the 16th birthday. What happens then depends on whether your child already has their own phone.

With their own phone: in a choir with "Members under 16", you keep following, but from now on your child decides. They get the notification "You're 16 now", for example with "Sandra still follows you in cori. Whether that stays is up to you now.", and can end the follow at any time. In a choir without "Members under 16", the follow ends on that day.

Without their own phone: you and the choir leadership get a notification and an email. Show your child the code within three months, and they carry on on their own phone, with all their appointments and answers. The message and Settings›Family tell you by which day.

Ending the follow

As a parent: under Settings›Family, tap Stop following for your child. You then no longer see their appointments and answers and leave the parents' chat; your child keeps their place in the choir. For a child without their own phone, this only works if a second parent keeps looking after them. If you're the only one, sign them out instead, see Signing up a child as a parent.

As a teenager aged 16 or over: under Settings›Parents, each parent has End next to them. "Sandra will no longer see your dates and replies and will get a notification. Sandra can ask you again later." Under 16 the parents decide; you can only end the follow from 16.

Following from 16

If your child is already 16 and you don't follow them yet, you ask them for permission:

1. 1
   Create the request

   Open the link for parents, or "Sign up a child" under Settings›Family. Choose a date of birth that makes your child 16, enter their first name and tap "Send Lena a request".

2. 2
   Send the link

   Share or copy the link and send it to your child. It's valid for 14 days and only works once. Until then your Family section shows "Waiting for Lena".

3. 3
   Your child agrees

   Your child opens the link, sees "Sandra would like to follow you" and taps Say yes in their own account, or "Not now". If they're not in the choir yet, they join with Join and say yes and then wait for the choir leadership's approval.

Following from 16 only exists in choirs with "Members under 16", and at most two parents can follow.

If it doesn't work

• "The code has expired." The code is valid for 15 minutes. Tap "Show a new code".
• "This code has expired or was already used. Ask for a new one." Each code only works once. If you show a new one, the previous one no longer applies.
• "This code doesn't match. Check it again or ask your parents." The code has six characters; the digits 0 and 1 and the letters O, I and L never appear in it.
• "I have a code" isn't visible. Someone is already signed in to cori on the phone. Sign that account out first.
• No "Show code" for your child. Your child has their own account with an email address, Google or Apple, they're already 16 and only sign in with a code, or you've signed them out.
• "Until you're 16, your parents decide who follows you in cori." The request went to an account under 16. Under 16, a parent follows via parental approval.
• "Two parents already follow you." There can't be more than two.
