Set realistic expectations for phone GPS
Guardian can help a family check a connected child phone’s latest available location and receive useful Home and School updates. It cannot turn a phone into a flawless, continuously reporting tracker.
Parents should test permissions and battery settings on the child device, explain how location sharing will be used, and keep direct communication as part of the normal family routine.
Guardian is not an emergency service. Location and notifications can be affected by GPS, connectivity, permissions, battery settings and operating-system restrictions.
