Get to know your Gabb Phone 4 Pro
Security
Gabb’s proprietary operating system provides a safe tech environment for kids. GabbOS comes pre-installed on the Gabb Phone 4 Pro.
Keep your kids safe from potentially harmful content and encourage them to spend time off screens.
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.
Gabb Guard automatically blocks up to 90% of suspicious calls and texts, keeping unknown callers from contacting your child.
A Gabb ID is a secure account login that you create for your child when you activate your Gabb Phone 4 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.
You can monitor your child’s text & call usage history from within your Gabb account. These logs allows you to see how often your Gabb Phone 3 Pro is being used.
