Just found out that there was a massive update to Gizmo watches which apparently allows for custom texting. We were sold on the watches because it only allowed for pre-set text messages, now our kids noses are in their watches texting their friends. Not happy with the update. Does anyone know how to turn this feature off on watches? This isn't what we signed up for.

Hello, Brooke1023, thanks for reaching out. Once the software update has completed, there is no way to revert back to the previous version.

Please send me the guidance on disabling this feature.

How do I set up so my child can use the new custom text feature? The watch iOS is up to date but the custom text option is not showing anywhere on the watch and I see no where in the app to adjust the settings.
