Use EchoMom While Other Android Apps Are Open

Choose the child before turning it on

The Floating voice button opens Ask EchoMom for one child. If your account can access more than one child, confirm the target before enabling it so a half-awake voice log does not land in the wrong profile.

1. Open Settings from the bottom navigation.
2. Choose App.
3. Find Floating voice button and choose the child shown in that card.
4. Choose a Bubble style if you want a different look, then turn the switch on.

Allow the Android system permission

Android does not let an app place a floating control over other apps without approval. EchoMom sends you to the correct system screen when this permission is off.

1. Use the prompt that appears when you enable Floating voice button.
2. In Android settings, allow EchoMom to display over other apps.
3. Return to EchoMom and confirm Floating voice button permission is on.

Use it when finding the app would break the moment

Tap the bubble to open EchoMom for the selected child and begin voice input. This is useful during a dark feed, while reading a message from another caregiver, or when you need to ask how long the baby has been awake without navigating back through the app.

1. Tap the floating EchoMom button.
2. Say a natural update or question, such as “John woke up” or “How much sleep did John get last night?”
3. Read the response and check Calendar if a saved time needs correction.

Use a widget if you do not want the permission

The system permission is optional. Leave Floating voice button off and add EchoMom Shortcuts to the Android home screen for direct care logs. When you need natural-language help, open the app and tap EchoMom in the bottom navigation.

What to remember

• The in-app label is Floating voice button under Settings > App.
• Android may call the required system permission Display over other apps, Appear on top, or Appear over everything.
• You can choose the child and Bubble style; normal agent permissions still apply.
