Clean music streaming

Gabb Music and Gabb Music+ don’t bleep out lyrics—instead, we use our industry-leading tools and proprietary technology to filter out explicit and suggestive songs. Gabb Music is included on Standard plans, and Gabb Music+ is included on Advanced Plans.

Block spam calls

Gabb Guard automatically blocks up to 90% of suspicious calls and texts, keeping unknown callers from contacting your child.

Gabb ID & Gabb Cloud

A Gabb ID is a secure account login that you create for your child when you activate your Gabb Phone 3 Pro. This allows your data to be backed up on Gabb Cloud. Gabb Cloud backs up the phone’s data every night, as long as your child is logged into their Gabb ID app.
