Gabb
Partner APIA kid-safe phone ecosystem with no internet browser, no social media, and no app store, providing essential phone features in a safe, curated environment.
About Gabb
Gabb offers a fundamentally different approach to children's mobile safety: instead of filtering a full-featured smartphone, Gabb provides purpose-built devices (Gabb Phone, Gabb Watch) that simply don't include a web browser, social media, app store, or games. Kids get essential communication features โ calls, texts, GPS location, a camera, and music โ without any exposure to the open internet. The Gabb ecosystem includes carrier service, parental controls via the MyGabb app, and a growing suite of kid-safe apps. For families who want to delay smartphone exposure while giving kids connectivity, Gabb offers a compelling middle ground.
