Per-Document Family Access

Family Access Graph

📁 Documents Marked Shared Visible
🔒 Everything Else (Private by Default)Visible

Sharing is per-document, not per-category - a member sees the whole shared library at their assigned access level (view, upload, or download), never a category-by-category split.

Why Family WhatsApp Groups Break Down

The Family Chat Security Risk

  • Forwarding unencrypted identity cards and documents into family WhatsApp groups
  • Spouse or family calling while you are at work to ask for a policy number or electricity bill
  • Zero permission controls: either someone sees everything or has access to nothing

With Ask Aydo Family Sharing

  • Every family member has their own WhatsApp login to access shared family documents
  • One access level per member - view, upload, or download - across everything you've marked shared
  • Keep personal documents (like salary slips or personal accounts) strictly private

Engineered for Real-World Reliability

Family Plan

Individual WhatsApp Access

Each family member connects with their own phone number. Your spouse or parent can query Aydo directly from their personal WhatsApp.

Per-Member Access Levels

Assign each member an access level - view, upload, or download - over the whole shared library. Account Owners always have full access; Emergency Nominees receive access only when the Legacy Handover trigger fires.

Private by Default, Shared When You Choose

Set an account-wide default for new documents (private or shared), then flip any individual document the other way whenever you need to - no per-category rules to manage.

Zero Document Clutter in Group Chats

Stop cluttering family groups with loose PDFs and photos. Family members simply ask Aydo for what they need.

3 Steps to Set Up Family Sharing

How to add family members and control what stays private.

01

Invite a Family Member

From your Profile settings, add a family member's phone number. They get their own WhatsApp connection to the shared library - no separate app or login.

02

Share Individual Documents, Not Categories

Set an account-wide default for new uploads (private or shared) in Profile settings, then share any individual document with the family by asking Aydo directly - there's no per-category rule to manage.

03

Everyone Retrieves What They Need

Family members ask Aydo directly from their own WhatsApp - "Send the car insurance" - and get shared documents without asking you first.
