Gabb Parental Controls
Gabb prioritizes your child’s safety by offering a variety of parental controls.
Gabb parental controls
Gabb’s proprietary operating system provides a safe tech environment for kids. GabbOS comes pre-installed on all Gabb devices.
Use the MyGabb app to set up Safe Zones for your child’s Gabb device. Safe Zones allow you to be notified when your child enters or leaves a Safe Zone that you’ve set up. We’ll send this notification to the MyGabb app.
Gabb Messenger flags or blocks messages that may be harmful to your child. You’ll get a notification from the Gabb Messenger for parents app when this happens.
On Gabb phones, you can set when your child can delete text messages. There are three options: instantly, after 30 days, or never.
- Instantly: Messages are deleted immediately
- After 30 days: Messages remain in the trash for 30 days, then are deleted
- Never: Messages can’t be deleted
Messages can’t be deleted from a Gabb watch.
Gabb Messenger allows your child to make app-to-app safe video calls to other Gabb Messenger users. You can make video calls to your child using the Gabb Messenger for parents app. Parent-approved friends and relatives can also use Gabb Messenger for video calling after your child sends an approved contact an invite link.
Children can only make video calls to contacts that have been added to the phone.
Our devices have no social media apps to help keep your kids safe from potentially harmful content and encourage them to spend time off screens.
Gabb’s App Management includes hundreds of carefully selected third-party apps. Each app is thoroughly vetted to ensure it complies with Gabb’s community guidelines. Full access is available exclusively on the Gabb Phone 4 Pro with an Advanced plan.
A Gabb ID is a secure account login that you create for your child when you activate your Gabb Phone 4. This allows your data to be backed up on Gabb Cloud.
Gabb Cloud backs up the phone’s data every night when logged into the Gabb ID app on your Gabb phone.
Focus Mode is a feature that allows you to silence notifications on your child’s Gabb Watch 3e at specified times during the day. You can add up to 10 Focus Mode schedules.
Set up an SOS contact on your Gabb Watch 3e so that your child can easily contact them in an emergency.
The SOS button on the Gabb watch will call the SOS contact only. It will not call 911.
