Guardian privacy
Visible safety should still respect a teen’s privacy.
Guardian is designed to help a family discuss a focused safety concern. It does not create a continuous parent feed of a teen’s private conversations.
Visible setup
Your teen can see active safety checks in Companion. Families should review the device coverage and permissions together during setup.
Focused parent experience
The parent experience is built around Safety Moments, context, and conversation guidance. It is not a searchable archive or a continuous message feed.
Device-specific limits
What Guardian can check changes by device, enabled permissions, and service. On iPhone, Mac Bridge works from a Finder backup the family selects; it is not live iMessage monitoring.
