Not picking up? Hear what's around
Your child isn't answering, and the location on the map explains nothing. “Sound around” lets you hear what's happening near their phone for 30 seconds — and the child can see it.

When it helps
When silence is scarier than news
Not answering calls
A lesson, a game, noise — or has something happened? Thirty seconds is enough to tell.
An unusual place
The map shows where the phone is, but not what's going on there.
So you don't panic
You hear friends' voices — and can calmly wait for them to call back.
How it works
Live, never recorded
- 1
The family admin turns it on for the child
Only for a child or teen. This feature doesn't exist for adults or older relatives.
- 2
An adult taps “Sound around”
In the child's profile. Only the family's adults can ask.

30 seconds, live
The sound goes to the adult's phone and plays straight away. It's never written to a file, never stored on a server, and can't be replayed.

Everything in the trust log
Who listened and when. Time is only counted for sound that actually got through.
Honestly about the limits
Nothing in secret
- The child knowsThere's a permanent YouPoint notification on their phone, and during a session Android shows the microphone icon.
- Children and teens onlyYou can't listen to an adult or an older relative — the feature simply doesn't exist for them.
- No recordingNot in a file, not on a server. Once it's heard, it's gone.
- MinutesMinute packs on any plan; YouPoint Max also includes 30 minutes a month.
Questions
About “Sound around”
Can I record it and listen again?
No. The sound only plays live, and the app has no code that records it.
How is the time counted?
One try is 30 seconds. If the child's phone didn't send any sound, the try is free. We show what's left in minutes and in tries.
Can I listen to an adult?
No, never. “Sound around” only exists in child and teen profiles.
