Set it up in two steps

1. Install Tiny Beacon on your phone.
2. Install it on your child's phone and link the two phones. Keep both phones together; it takes about two minutes. Nothing is shared until the phones are linked.

What you get today

Nothing is shared until you confirm your choices at setup. SOS is always on. Phone status is suggested at setup and you can untick it. Everything else stays off until you switch it on.

• Arrival and leaving alerts for places you name, such as home and school, on Android and iPhone. You can also see your child's location.
• An SOS button and a family safe word, always available on Android and iPhone. The alert needs signal or internet to reach you.
• Phone status, such as roughly how much battery is left, charging, connection and last check-in time, once you switch it on.
• App time when your child has an Android phone, once you switch it on and allow Usage Access in Android settings. Not on iPhone.
• Screen-time routines: app limits and bedtime on Android, and Screen Time restrictions on iPhone.
• Your child can see every safeguard you choose and what it shares.

Today: iPhone 1.7.2 on the App Store. Android 1.7.2: Google Play is rolling out 1.7.2 in a staged rollout; most phones still have 1.7.0 for now.
