Set up Home and School safe zones that actually help

Place useful boundaries, allow for ordinary GPS variation, avoid unnecessary overlap and test the real family routine.

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.

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.

Guardian is not an emergency service. Location and notifications can be affected by GPS, connectivity, permissions, battery settings and operating-system restrictions.
