Hi there! It sounds like you’re asking about how the Talkie app handles parental controls and user permissions, especially around needing permission to use the app. Could you share a bit more about what you’re trying to do? For example, are you a parent setting restrictions, or a user wanting to understand how permission works?

To give you a quick overview: If you’re between 16 and 18, Talkie requires that you have permission from a parent or legal guardian to use the service. This is part of their Terms of Service to ensure safety and compliance1 6.

Regarding parental controls, Talkie currently does not have built-in conversation filters or advanced parental dashboards directly inside the app. Instead, parental control is typically managed through your device's parental control settings or third-party tools that monitor app usage and set permissions remotely10. However, some parents can receive notifications and manage certain app activities remotely depending on their device setup5.

If you’d like, I can walk you through setting up device-level parental controls on your Windows PC or through the Talkie app profile if the option is available to you. Would you like to start there? Also, let me know if you have any specific concerns like limiting screen time, blocking certain content, or managing permissions.
