Daily check-in in Indonesian for your parents (Bahasa Indonesia)
Daily WhatsApp check-ins and calls in Indonesian for your parents, wherever they live. See the exact messages they get and the replies they can give.
Millions of Indonesians work far from home — in Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea and Japan — and keep in touch with their parents over WhatsApp, the country’s most used messaging app.
The check-in uses "Anda" and plain, polite Indonesian that any parent can read.
What your parent sees, in Indonesian
These are the real messages, exactly as they are sent. The English under each one is for you; your parent sees only the Indonesian.
If they do not answer
About three hours later your parent gets a gentle reminder in Indonesian. In the countries our phone call reaches — 25 countries, including India, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar — a phone call in Indonesian follows. If there is still no answer, you are alerted, and then the local contacts you chose. Which countries, and their emergency numbers →
Once a week
Replies in their own words
Parents do not always use the buttons. These everyday replies, typed the way people type them, are understood:
| Your parent types | Understood as |
|---|---|
| sudah minum | I have taken them |
| ya, sudah | yes, done |
| belum | not yet |
| kurang sehat | I am not feeling well |
| tolong telepon | please call |
Words that suggest an emergency — a fall, chest pain, breathlessness, in Indonesian or in English — are recognised too. You are alerted at once and your parent is reminded to call the emergency number of the country they live in.
Where Indonesian is spoken
Indonesian is spoken in Indonesia, and among Indonesians in Malaysia, Singapore, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Netherlands.
Families abroad
Indonesian families with a parent at home live mainly in Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, Japan, the Netherlands and Australia.
Your parent can live in almost any country: the check-in, the alerts and the emergency card quote the emergency number of the country they live in. Tests and medicine refills are arranged in India only. Parents outside India →
Questions families ask
Can my parent reply in Indonesian?
Yes. They can tap the buttons, which are in Indonesian, or type or speak in their own words. Replies in Indonesian, including replies mixed with English, are understood.
Is the phone call also in Indonesian?
Yes, in the countries our phone call reaches: 25 countries, including India, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Elsewhere the WhatsApp reminder is in Indonesian, and if it is not answered you are alerted straight away.
Can each parent have a different language?
Yes. The language is set for each parent, and you can change it at any time.
Which language does the family app use?
English or Hindi. The family app is for you; your parent only uses WhatsApp and their phone.
