An extra way to reach trusted adults
Guardian gives a connected child device an SOS option for reaching trusted adults. The resulting family alert can include the latest available location and device context, helping parents decide how to respond and who should make contact.
Guardian is not an emergency service and an SOS notification cannot guarantee delivery. Families should agree in advance who responds, when to call the child and when emergency services must be contacted directly.
Guardian is not an emergency service. Location and notifications can be affected by GPS, connectivity, permissions, battery settings and operating-system restrictions.
