Clear Home updates when a journey begins or ends
Home alerts help parents understand when an everyday journey has started or finished. A connected child phone can trigger a leaving or arrival notification around the family’s Home safe zone, reducing the need for repeated messages during familiar routines.
The Family Map remains available when extra context is genuinely needed, alongside battery level and last update time. Location can still be affected by GPS, signal, permissions and battery settings, so direct family communication always remains important.
Guardian is not an emergency service. Location and notifications can be affected by GPS, connectivity, permissions, battery settings and operating-system restrictions.
