Focus on the moments that actually matter

A child journey usually matters most at the beginning and end: leaving a familiar place, reaching the destination and knowing when the expected routine changes. Guardian safe zones can turn those moments into useful family notifications without requiring a parent to keep the Family Map open throughout the journey.

Families can use the latest available location and device status when an alert needs more context. The information is dependent on the connected phone and can be affected by GPS conditions, signal, permissions, battery settings and background restrictions. It should be treated as helpful context rather than a guarantee.

Guardian is not an emergency service. Location and notifications can be affected by GPS, connectivity, permissions, battery settings and operating-system restrictions.
