Hi there! I see you're having trouble updating the Toca Boca World app on an Amazon Kids tablet. Let's work through this together to get it sorted out.

First, just to clarify, are you trying to update the app from the child's profile on the Amazon Kids tablet? Also, have you checked if there's enough available storage on the tablet? Sometimes low storage can block updates. Knowing these details will help me guide you better.

Meanwhile, here are some steps you can try:

1. Check Parent Dashboard Permissions:
- Log into the Parent Dashboard at parents.amazon.com.
- Go to the child’s profile settings.
- Look for “In-App Purchasing” and “Store Access” settings.
- Make sure Store Access is enabled for the child profile. Without this, app updates may be blocked.

2. Update from Parent Profile:
- Switch to the Parent Profile on the tablet.
- Open the Amazon Appstore.
- Check for app updates there and update Toca Boca World directly.
- After updating, switch back to the child profile and see if the app is updated.

3. Check Tablet Storage:
- Go to the tablet's Settings > Storage.
- Ensure you have at least 3GB free space. If not, uninstall some unused apps or transfer files to free up space.

4. Force Stop and Clear Cache for Amazon Appstore:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Amazon Appstore.
- Tap “Force Stop,” then “Clear Cache.”
- Restart the tablet and try updating the app again.

5. Try Checking for Updates from the Child’s Profile:
- On the child's home screen, tap and hold the Toca Boca World app icon.
- From the pop-up menu, select “Check for Updates.”

If these steps don’t get the update working, let me know what you've tried so far, and if you faced any specific error messages, so I can further assist!

Are you satisfied with this guide so far?

No its that I can fined the update button because is it like in the store button or somthing?

Thanks for explaining! On an Amazon Kids tablet, the update button for apps like Toca Boca World isn't always super obvious because the tablet uses the Amazon Appstore rather than the Google Play Store.

Here's how you can find and use the update option:

1. Switch to the Parent Profile:
- On the tablet, tap the profile icon and select the Parent profile (this has full access permissions).

2. Open the Amazon Appstore:
- Once in the Parent profile, open the Amazon Appstore app.

3. Go to “Updates” or “Apps & Games” section:
- Often, on the Appstore main page, there’s a menu or tab named “Updates” or sometimes under “Apps & Games.”
- Tap there, and you'll see a list of apps installed that have updates available.

4. Find Toca Boca World:
- Look for Toca Boca World in that list, and if an update is available, you should see an “Update” button next to it. Tap that to update the app.

5. Return to Child Profile:
- After the update completes, switch back to the child's profile, and the app will be updated.

Important: On Amazon Kids profiles, the child usually can’t directly update apps themselves—that's why you won’t find the update button inside the kid’s profile or app interface. Updates must be done via the Parent profile and Amazon Appstore1.

If you don't see an "Updates" tab:

- Try tapping the Profile icon in the Amazon Appstore, then "App Updates" or similar.
- Or search for Toca Boca World inside the Appstore (using the search bar), and click on the app listing itself—the update option should be there if available.

Let me know if these steps help you spot the update button! If not, I can guide you through another way.

But when I click the parent thing then it just Shows me how to play :(

Thanks for letting me know that clicking the parent profile only shows “how to play” and not the update options. That helps narrow down what’s going on.

On Amazon Kids tablets, the child profiles are very limited, and even the parent profile within the kids interface may not give you full access to app management like updates. Instead, updating apps must be done outside the Amazon Kids interface, by using the full Parent or Adult profile on the tablet itself.

Here’s what I suggest:

1. Exit the Amazon Kids mode entirely:
- From the tablet’s main screen, switch profiles to the full Parent or Adult profile, not the “parent” inside the kids app. This is usually the main Amazon account profile on the tablet, sometimes called "Device Parent" or the owner profile.

2. Open the Amazon Appstore app there:
- Once in that full Parent profile, open the Amazon Appstore app — this is different from the “parent mode” inside Amazon Kids.
- In this Appstore app, there should be a section for “Updates” or an “Apps & Games” menu where you can see pending updates.

3. Update Toca Boca World:
- Locate Toca Boca World in the updates list or search for it in the store.
- Tap Update to install the latest version.

4. Switch back to the child profile:
- After updating, go back into the Amazon Kids profile to allow the child to use the updated app.

If you don’t have access to a full Parent profile on the tablet (sometimes Amazon Kids tablets only have the kids mode active), you might need to temporarily disable Amazon Kids or sign out from the kids account to get to the main device settings and Appstore.

Lastly, make sure that under the Parent Dashboard online (at parents.amazon.com) for that child profile, you have Store Access enabled — otherwise, updates might be blocked for the child’s apps3.

Try these steps out, and let me know how it goes or if you need help locating the main Parent profile on your tablet!

Are you satisfied with the solution I provided so far?

Thank you but can I do this stuff or does my parent have to?

Great question! Children can definitely play and explore inside the Toca Boca World app independently, enjoying the creative activities and stories it offers. The app is designed to give kids space to create and play without needing constant parental help during gameplay.

However, when it comes to certain actions outside of playing—like updating the app, managing purchases, or changing settings—these typically require a parent or guardian's involvement. For example, app updates on a device like an Amazon Kids tablet usually have to be done through the parent or adult profile, just to keep control and security for the child’s account.

So, your child can enjoy all the fun parts of Toca Boca World on their own but for things like updates or settings changes, a parent’s help is required12.

If you need any help with updating the app or managing settings, feel free to ask! Are you satisfied with this explanation?

But what if your dad doesn't want to help you?

I understand your concern if your dad isn’t able or willing to help with updating or managing the app. Since Amazon Kids tablets usually require an adult profile to perform updates or manage app settings, it can sometimes feel tricky if you don’t have access to that.

Here are a few alternatives you might consider:

1. Ask another trusted adult: Maybe another family member, like a mom, older sibling, aunt, or grandparent, can assist with updates or settings if your dad isn’t available.

2. Use other kid-friendly devices or apps: There are lots of safe, creative apps similar to Toca Boca that might have different update or parental access requirements you can explore until adult help is available18.

3. Talk to your parent about why you need help: Sometimes sharing why the update is important (new features, bug fixes, etc.) can encourage them to help, or at least explain what is needed.
<br4. Try contacting support if adult access is impossible: While actually updating the app needs adult permission, you can still check the official Toca Boca support for advice or troubleshooting tips. You can email their support team or visit their help pages.
<brRemember, these parental controls are there to keep you safe and make sure the tablet is used in a healthy way, even if it feels limiting sometimes.
<brIf you want, I can help explain more about how the app works or suggest fun activities you can do inside it while waiting for update help. Just let me know!
