family location sharing

Private family location sharing, kept simple

Guardian approaches family location sharing as a way to answer practical questions without making constant map watching part of everyday family life. Trusted adults can use the private Family Map when they need location context from a connected child phone.

Useful location context when you genuinely need it

Battery status and update information help explain how current that device information appears, while Home and School alerts can cover familiar journey milestones without somebody repeatedly reopening the map.

Adult location sharing is optional, so parents do not have to share their own position simply because they can access authorised child-device information. The family can choose the level of adult sharing that suits its own routines.

Phone location still depends on GPS conditions, connectivity, permissions and battery behaviour, so updates can be delayed or inaccurate. Guardian provides useful family context rather than guaranteed tracking and is not an emergency service.

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

Quick questions

What can family location sharing show in Guardian?

Do parents have to share their own location to use Guardian with a child device?

No. Adult location sharing is optional and can remain off while authorised child-device features continue to be used.

Why use Home and School alerts as well as the Family Map?

Routine arrival and leaving alerts can provide useful journey milestones without requiring parents to keep checking the map throughout the day.
