MyGabb – Parental Control & GPS Tracking App

What is MyGabb?

MyGabb is a free Android application created by Gabb Wireless, Inc. It serves as a companion tool for families that use Gabb’s line of child‑focused phones and watches. The app lets parents monitor device usage, view real‑time location, and configure safety settings without exposing children to typical smartphone distractions.

Main Features

• Location tracking – See where the device is on a map in real time.
• Safe zones – Define geographic areas (home, school, etc.) and receive alerts when the device enters or leaves those zones.
• Contact management – Approve or restrict who the child can call or message.
• Device pairing – Connect the app to a Gabb phone or watch for seamless management.
• Parental controls – Adjust settings such as messaging limits and usage permissions from a single screen.

How It Works

After installing MyGabb, you create a parent account and link it to the child’s Gabb device using a simple pairing code. Once connected, the app pulls location data from the device’s built‑in GPS and displays it on an interactive map. Safe zones are drawn by selecting points on the map; the app stores those boundaries and monitors movement automatically. All contact changes are synchronized with the device, ensuring that only approved numbers appear in the child’s address book.

Practical Uses

• Confirm that your child has arrived at school safely.
• Get notified if a device leaves a designated area, such as a playground.
• Limit communication to family members and trusted friends.
• Provide peace of mind while allowing children a degree of independence.
