New Gabb Phone 4 Pro for Teens Provides Highest Flexibility and Safety Yet; New App Enhancements and Parental Controls
–Gabb®, the leader in safe tech for kids and teens, today unveiled the Gabb Phone 4 Pro, the safe phone built especially for teens. The phone is the newest addition to Gabb’s lineup of safe phones that follow Gabb’s “Tech in Steps” approach by delivering out-of-the-box safety features.
“We want teens to use this new phone as a safer way to connect with family and friends. Then we want them to put it down and build their very best selves through time spent away from their phones.” – Nate Randle, Gabb CEOPost this
“We want teens to be less reliant on screens,” said Nate Randle, Gabb CEO, “We want teens to use this new phone as a safer way to connect with family and friends. Then we want them to put it down and build their very best selves through time spent away from their phones. This is always the goal for each of our products.”
Gabb embraces the idea that children should have a unique relationship with technology, free from addiction and early exposure to adult content. By easing kids into technology gradually with devices and plans built for different stages of tech readiness, Gabb helps ensure they receive appropriate tech at the right time. This empowers parents to match their child’s readiness with suitable technology. This philosophy is known as Tech in Steps™.
Teen Independence, on Parents’ Terms.
With the Gabb Phone 4 Pro, parents can grant teens the amount of independence they are ready for while maintaining the ability to oversee and manage teens’ digital experiences. Gabb Phone 4 Pro offers flexible plans that allow parents to choose how much access their teen has. From just essential apps to third-party, parent-enabled apps, Gabb Phone 4 Pro offers flexibility so parents can decide the right approach for their teen.
Hundreds of Apps. None Are Social Media.
The Gabb Phone 4 Pro boasts hundreds of third-party apps via the Gabb App Store that are reviewed in the Gabb App Guide. These reviews offer insight into potential concerns that might influence parents’ decisions to prohibit or allow certain apps. Flags such as “no parental controls,” “potential connection to the internet,” or “communications with strangers,” help parents understand whether an app is right for their child. Each app is only available to teens after being enabled by their parents. Because parents can manage which apps will be available for download, they are empowered to create a safer, lower screen time digital environment for their teens. Internet browser apps and social media apps are intentionally excluded from the Gabb App Store.
“We stand with the Surgeon General and the voices of many teens: social media is a danger to young people,” said Lance Black, Gabb Founding Partner. “Research shows that teens can lose over a year of their lives to mindless scrolling. Unlike other companies that offer social media apps, Gabb is committed to providing a safer, healthier alternative for our youth.”
