Mobile Safe Zones works with Apple Family Controls as a 'set-it and forget it' system letting parents set location-based controls for their children. 911 and safety alerts always work. Mobile Safe Zones DOES NOT: Track locations Collect data Advertise Basic Setup (screenshots at www.mobilesafezones.com): Setup videos (YouTube @MobileSafeZones): - Parent phone: https://youtu.be/iksbvMH0Zy0 - Child phone: https://youtu.be/a3650Qu1bAM - Second adult: https://youtu.be/yR1R8U7o6G4 - Creating geofences: https://youtu.be/zi3WvblPp08 - App and time controls: https://youtu.be/jrDo0725REU Apple Family Sharing: First, set up Apple Family with parents and minor children's phones (under 18) per Apple's instructions. Mobile Safe Zones (MSZ) set-up: On Parent's Phone: Download the MSZ App from the App Store and choose the free 7-day promotional period or a paid plan, then sign in.

Geofences and Controls: Set up to 20 geofence locations from either phone; delete unused locations to free space. Unique per-location app/website controls must be set on the child's phone.

Voice Calling and Texting: MSZ controls Social Media and other distracting apps/sites by location. Basic phone communications are controlled by Apple (not geofences).
