A practical Guardian guide for parents
What Is Geofencing? should be straightforward rather than technical. Guardian brings the relevant setup, location context and family controls together so parents can understand what the connected phone is sharing and how everyday alerts are produced.
Phone location always has practical limits. GPS, signal, permissions, battery settings and operating-system restrictions can affect updates, so Guardian should be used openly and alongside direct family communication.
Guardian is not an emergency service. Location and notifications can be affected by GPS, connectivity, permissions, battery settings and operating-system restrictions.
