What Does JioShield Offer?

JioShield lets families track a loved one’s location and receive safety alerts, including SOS notifications when they need help and alerts when their phone battery is running low. For children, parents can manage screen time and control the apps and contacts they can access. Reliance Jio says the service is intended to help parents stay informed while giving children and elderly family members the freedom to explore and stay connected.

The service works through two linked apps. Parents use the JioThings app, while the JioShield app is installed on the child’s phone. Once linked, parents can manage screen time, apps and contacts, track location and receive safety alerts through JioThings.
