Device context matters as much as the map
Guardian connects a child’s phone to a private, parent-managed family. Alongside the latest available map position, parents can see battery status and when the device last reported.
That context can help distinguish a genuine journey update from a phone that has poor signal, restrictive background settings or a low battery. Guardian is intended to support communication, not replace it.
Guardian is not an emergency service. Location and notifications can be affected by GPS, connectivity, permissions, battery settings and operating-system restrictions.
