Is there a life alert button for kids?

Is there a life alert button for kids? On their iPhone, yes. SimpleSentinel's emergency button sends an alert to the parents and guardians you choose, in one tap.

Your child picks what is happening: I need you to call me, Come get me, I don't feel safe, I'm hurt, I'm lost, or their own words. On a phone that allows critical alerts it sounds through your silent switch. You decide whether your child's button is on at all. Keep Apple's Emergency SOS for 911.

One price, unlimited children and devices. 7-day free trial, billed by Apple.

The short version

✓ Reach them in an emergency

An emergency from you sounds an alarm on your child's phone and ignores downtime, pauses, quiet hours, and silent mode. They can send one to you too, if you choose to enable theirs.

✓ Send a message they can't ignore

Mark a message "No Ignore" and it covers your child's screen with your words until they press Acknowledge, pulsing every ten seconds for up to two hours. You get a receipt the moment they press it. It reaches them during downtime and pauses, when Apple's Messages is closed.

✓ Set an alarm on their device, from yours

Set alarms on your child's phone from yours. They ring full screen, through Silent mode and every Focus, and only you can change them. Choose how many snoozes, or require a four-digit wake code to stop it. (Needs iOS 26 on the child's phone.)

What still works during a lock

Calls to and from you keep working. Apple keeps the Phone app reachable no matter what. Your emergency alarm and a No Ignore message still reach the screen. A pause stays until you lift it, through restarts and through a scheduled downtime window. SimpleSentinel never reads what your child types, watches or browses.
