How caregiver invites work
An invite is a separate step. It does not turn your own iCloud sync on or off.
When your iPhone is signed in to iCloud, Tiny Rhythm syncs your own records to your private iCloud. That sync starts on its own. Inviting a caregiver is a separate step. There is no switch in the app to turn sync off. Signing out of iCloud stops sync. The records on the phone stay on the phone.
Family sharing requires iOS 17 or later. Both people need to be signed in to iCloud to send or accept the invite.
Send an invite
- Open Settings from the bell on the Dashboard, or from Profile, then Settings.
- Under Data & backup, tap Family sharing.
- If the iPhone is not signed in to iCloud, the app tells you to sign in. If sharing is unavailable for another reason, it says local data is safe and sync resumes when iCloud is available.
- Enter the caregiver’s Apple ID email, the address they use for iCloud, and tap Send invite.
- You can copy the invite link from the same sheet and send it again later.
Accept an invite
- The caregiver opens the invite link on their iPhone while signed in to iCloud.
- Tiny Rhythm shows Joining a family until the shared profile arrives.
- If they are not signed in to iCloud, the screen tells them to sign in before the invite can sync.
Stop sharing
The owner can remove a member from the Family sharing sheet. A caregiver can leave. Leaving removes the shared data from the caregiver’s phone. It does not delete the owner’s records.
Share only with people you trust. An export of a joined profile is not available to the caregiver. The owner exports that profile. How to export.
