Shared update

Connection lost
This example means a previously accepted connection is unavailable. It may have been revoked or not refreshed yet. It does not tell you why, and it does not mean the person's health has worsened.
When your person taps 'Share with carer' in Tended or a compatible Cocoacorn app, they get a link. They can send this to you via Messages, AirDrop, or any other way.
The easiest way to accept is to tap the link itself — if you have Supported installed, iOS opens it straight into the accept flow. No pasting needed.
If the link arrived as text only and you want to paste it manually instead, you can:
Ways to connect
- Paste it when adding a person (the Share link field below their name)
- Go to More > People, tap the person, and paste the link in the Connection section
- Or tap the 'Connect via share link' button on the person's detail page when they're not yet connected
Once accepted, their daily status will appear on your dashboard. They can revoke the share at any time. You can delete the connection at any time.
