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.
You will receive prompts to configure the system:
Send notifications-select 'Allow'
Review Privacy Policy
'Sign in as Adult' using your Apple sign-in credentials
Create and name your MSZ family
Select 'Add a child'
Enter name-Tap the check mark
Set your Security Pin (twice) and save
Click 'Add Child'
A QR code will appear-Go to your child's phone
On Child's Phone: Download MSZ App from App store.
Select 'Sign-in as Child'
Select 'Allow camera'
Scan the QR code shown on Parent's phone. This connects parent and child. You may need to refresh the QR code on the Parent's phone.
Tap 'Request Location Permissions'
Safe Zones location-Tap 'Allow while using App'
Device location-tap 'Open Settings' and chose 'Always'
Tap 'Request Family Controls'-select 'Continue' for 'Safe Zones Would Like to Access Screen Time'
Select 'Allow with iCloud Sign-in' for Allow Access to Screen Time
Enter parent Apple credentials for Parental Approval Required
Congratulations!! You are ready to set Geofence locations with unique per-location controls. See the setup videos linked above.
Note: To add a second parent/adult, have them download Mobile Safe Zones. On your phone open Family Controls, tap the gear icon on the green bar, tap 'Add Adult', and scan the QR code on the joining adult's phone.
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. The parent's phone can set full-block of all apps and websites; selective allow/block requires the child's phone. See geofences and controls videos above.
Voice Calling and Texting: MSZ controls Social Media and other distracting apps/sites by location. Basic phone communications are controlled by Apple (not geofences). Use Apple Communication Limits and Downtime in Apple Family settings to whitelist contacts by time of day (for example parents/key contacts only from 9PM through 3PM the next day).

Ratings & Reviews
The app now detects your Apple Family members. Other adults and children will be prompted to join to Safe Zones family once signed in. This replaces the previous admin email and child QR code system.
