One private family map for the people who matter

A family map is most valuable when there is a reason to open it. Guardian gives trusted adults a private place to check a connected child phone after an unexpected delay, changed plan or alert that needs more context.

Use the map when an alert needs more context

The latest available shared location appears alongside battery and last-update information, helping parents judge whether the device seems to be reporting normally.

For predictable journeys, Home and School alerts can provide routine milestones without requiring somebody to keep the map open. The map then remains available for the moments that actually need a closer look.

Location can still drift or update late because of GPS conditions, connectivity, permissions or battery restrictions. Guardian cannot guarantee notification delivery or exact positioning 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.
