Set up the parent phone first

Recommended first-time setup

Parent phone first, then launch Nesty

Use the parent phone first. Launch Nesty on the parent phone, confirm the parent device install here, then finish family setup before choosing A for the locked QR path or B for the lighter Play Store path.

Sign in once, then add or refresh tablets from the same family account.

Android may show a managed-device notice during setup. Keep going so Nesty can finish the handoff.

Family setup

Add another tablet Create separate family

If this Google account already has a family on the server, Nesty loads it here first. Create a separate family only if you need a different household.

Household name Parent 1 Parent 2 Parent PIN Child name Tablet label Age preset

This PIN unlocks the parent area on the child tablet.

This saved tablet is locked to the selected family. Refresh QR after a reset, or edit the tablet details and create a fresh QR.

4

Factory reset the tablet

Start from a clean Android setup so Nesty can take over from the first welcome screen. If the tablet has already been through setup, the QR flow will fail.

5

Open the QR scanner

On some tablets you need to tap the first welcome screen 10 to 15 times quickly before the QR scanner appears.

6

Scan and finish setup

Scan the code, then follow the Android prompts until Nesty opens. If Android says something went wrong or asks for your IT admin, the tablet is not on the fresh welcome screen anymore. Reset it again, then rescan. If a model still fails after that, send the make and model and use the Play app version for now.
