Getting set up

How adding a parent works

Adding your parent or family member takes less than a minute — and they stay in control the whole time.

  1. 1

    Enter their name and WhatsApp number

    You add your parent or family member's name and WhatsApp number from your dashboard.

  2. 2

    They receive a WhatsApp invite

    Tistra sends them a friendly WhatsApp message explaining what's being set up and why.

  3. 3

    They confirm and choose what to share

    They accept the invite and decide what they're comfortable sharing — like meal photos, or just short descriptions.

  4. 4

    They start sending meals

    Once accepted, they can send a photo or a quick description whenever they eat — right on WhatsApp.

  5. 5

    You see what they've allowed

    You'll only see the summaries and insights they've agreed to share — never more than that.

🔒 Your family member is always in control of what they share. Nothing is visible to you until they accept the invite and choose their own sharing preferences.
