A useful safe zone should match the way the place is actually used
Most families looking into setting up Home and School safe zones are not trying to watch a phone from morning until night. They usually want a calmer answer to a practical question: choosing realistic boundaries and testing the normal journey. Guardian is designed around that idea.
When Guardian is being used for setting up Home and School safe zones, phone-location readings still have practical limits. GPS can drift around buildings, mobile signal can weaken, and permissions, battery-saving settings or operating-system restrictions can delay background updates. The information is therefore best treated as useful family context rather than exact proof of somebody’s position or timing. Notification delivery can also be affected by device and network conditions, while Guardian’s SOS feature gives a connected child device another way to alert trusted adults rather than replacing emergency services.
