'Text me when you're back' — made automatic.
Walking-home mode is a temporary live watch for one journey: see them move in real time, get told the second they're through the door, and know at once if they don't arrive.

- HomeAuto-arrival ping

The walk back after a night out is the classic 'let me know you're safe' moment. Walking-home mode makes it a live, temporary watch — no permanent tracking, just cover for this one journey that ends itself when they're home.
A temporary live watch that ends when they're safely home.
- Temporary live Watch Me for a single journey

How Walking home works, step by step.
- 1
They start Walking home
In Vygard Family on their phone, they start a walking-home journey and share it with you — a temporary live watch, not permanent tracking.
- 2
You watch them home
You see them move in real time. Fall and sudden-stop detection run the whole way, and their SOS target is oversized for cold hands.
- 3
Home ends the watch
When they reach home, you get an 'arrived safe' ping and the live share ends itself automatically.
- 4
Didn't arrive? You're told
If they don't reach home by the expected time, or trigger SOS on the way, you're alerted at once with their location.
