Keep trusted adults informed without a public network
Home and School alerts can provide routine journey milestones, while the Family Map and device status give authorised adults more context when plans change or an expected update is missing.
Multiple trusted adults can use the same private family information to coordinate everyday journeys. Adult location sharing remains optional, so parents are not required to publish their own position to use the child-device features.
Phone location depends on GPS, connectivity, permissions and battery behaviour, so updates cannot be treated as perfectly accurate or guaranteed. Guardian supports family communication but is not an emergency service.
Quick questions
Can more than one trusted adult use the same Guardian family information?
Yes. Trusted adults with access to the private family can use the available child-device information to coordinate ordinary family routines.
Is adult location sharing required in a Guardian family?
No. Parents can keep their own location sharing off while continuing to use the connected child-device features.
Does family tracking mean Guardian knows a device’s exact position at all times?
No. Guardian shows the latest available phone location, which can be affected by GPS, signal, permissions and battery conditions.
