How the child phone supports geofence alerts
The connected child phone supplies the location reports Guardian uses to evaluate Home and School boundaries. Location permission, background access, battery optimisation and connectivity all affect that process.
A geofence is an area rather than a single perfect GPS coordinate. The boundary should allow for normal signal variation, especially around large buildings and busy school grounds.
Guardian is not an emergency service. Location and notifications can be affected by GPS, connectivity, permissions, battery settings and operating-system restrictions.
