Fall alerts can now reach you even when your phone is on silent or in Do Not Disturb. - Apple has approved FallGuard for Critical Alerts, reserved for personal safety apps. Fall alerts can now break through silent mode and Do Not Disturb on a caregiver's phone. - You'll be asked once for permission. It applies only to falls. Vitals updates and check-ins stay quiet and respect your normal notification settings. - You can turn it off anytime in Settings.

This update makes the dashboard tell you the truth about every reading. - Each reading now shows when it was actually measured, not when the app last checked in. If we don't know how old something is, we say so instead of guessing. - Fixed an alert that could report an impossible number of days since a watch was last heard from. - The dashboard no longer shows a heart rate or blood oxygen while the watch is on the charger. - Location updates more reliably, and can now come from the watch itself. - Clearer, calmer status messages. No more asking you to go check the watch. - Your loved one's name now appears consistently throughout the app.

This update makes FallGuard work for more families, and keeps everyone's information where it belongs. - Apple Watches set up through Family Setup can now use FallGuard on their own, without needing their own iPhone. - Caregivers can send a check-in straight to their loved one's watch, and see the reply when they tap "I'm OK." - Your family code is now protected. If you watch over someone else, joining their code can never replace your own. - Readings stay with the right person, so one family's information never appears in another's. - Watches that stop reporting are now woken automatically, so vitals stay current without anyone opening the app. - Fewer repeat emails about check-ins, and you can choose to get them in the app only.

This update makes FallGuard quieter, tougher, and easier to trust. - Fall alerts can now break through Do Not Disturb on caregivers' iPhones, so the moment that matters always gets through. - New Notification Preferences in Settings: "All alerts," "Falls + urgent vitals," or "Falls only." - Tap any reading to learn what it means, how often the watch measures it, and when an older reading is perfectly normal. - The Refresh button now tells you exactly what responded - and what didn't. - Truthful timestamps everywhere: every reading shows when it was actually taken. - Far fewer repeat notifications - reminders arrive at most once a day, and only when they are meaningful. - Major reliability upgrade for Apple Watch readings: vitals keep flowing in the background, recover automatically after updates and restarts, and the watch keeps reporting its battery even while charging. - Fall alerts are more resilient and send reliably the moment they are detected. - Fixed an issue where the app could show "phone offline" next to up-to-date readings. Thanks for using FallGuard to help keep your family safe.

FallGuard 2.5 is our biggest reliability update yet. • All-day vitals: your loved one's watch now reports heart rate, breathing, blood oxygen, and steps automatically throughout the day • New History tab: browse the week's readings with averages over time, plus a quiet event log — anything worth knowing is noted there instead of becoming another notification • Honest timestamps: every reading shows exactly when it was taken • Calm status: see "watch charging" or "off wrist" instead of a false alarm — alerts only fire when silence is truly unexplained • Smarter notifications: if readings stop unexpectedly, family gets escalating follow-ups until things return to normal • New safety net: an urgent alert if the watch is on the wrist but can't get a heart-rate reading • Location now updates reliably, with clear status when it's turned off • More dependable email alerts • Many fixes and improvements under the hood

A fuller picture of your loved one's health. NEW HOME SCREEN • A body-map view — each vital wraps around your loved one's figure and points to what it's watching: heart rate to the heart, oxygen to the lungs, watch battery to the wrist, steps to the legs. A FULL DAY, NOT A SNAPSHOT • FallGuard now keeps a running history of vitals all day. See a timeline of every update, and compare this week to last week to spot trends — like resting heart rate creeping up or activity dropping off. KNOW WHEN THE WATCH IS OFF • The home screen now shows whether the watch is being worn, off, or charging — so a quiet stretch reads as "they haven't put it on," not a false worry. MORE TO WATCH • Daily steps and activity, resting heart rate, watch and phone battery, and location. WEEKLY CHECK-IN • A gentle weekly summary so you can see how their week went at a glance.
