An SOS alert is only useful when the family knows what happens next
Most families looking into how SOS alerts work are not trying to watch a phone from morning until night. They usually want a calmer answer to a practical question: agreeing who responds and when emergency services are needed. Guardian is designed around that idea.
Phone location always has practical limits. GPS can drift around large buildings, mobile signal may be weak, and permissions, battery-saving modes or operating-system restrictions can delay background updates. Guardian cannot promise perfect accuracy, continuous tracking or guaranteed notification delivery. Its SOS feature can give a connected child device another way to reach trusted adults, but Guardian is not an emergency service.
