Guardian across the phones your family uses
A connected iPhone can contribute available location and device information to the private family so trusted adults can use routine Home and School alerts and check map context when they need more detail.
iPhone location reporting still depends on the device being able to provide it. Location permissions, background behaviour, connectivity, battery conditions and operating-system restrictions can all influence when Guardian receives an update.
If an iPhone appears not to have updated recently, parents should use the available device context and check the phone settings rather than assuming the map is perfectly current. Guardian supports family coordination and is not an emergency service.
Quick questions

Can iPhone settings affect Guardian location updates?
Yes. Location permissions, background behaviour, connectivity, battery conditions and operating-system restrictions can affect reporting from the connected iPhone.
Can an iPhone be used in the same Guardian family as Android devices?
Guardian supports its private family across iPhone and Android, although each connected phone still depends on its own permissions and device conditions.
