Know when the journey home has started
For many families, the useful moment is not seeing every movement during the school day but knowing when the journey home has actually started. Guardian can use a configured School safe zone to recognise when the connected child phone leaves that familiar area and provide a departure update to trusted adults.
A School departure notification is still based on phone location rather than perfect physical proof. GPS drift, buildings, signal, permissions, battery settings and background restrictions can affect timing. Parents can use the Family Map, battery level and last-update time for extra context when an alert seems unusual.
