I just read this article from Pew Research about how parents manage kids devices. https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2025/10/08/how-parents-manage-screen-time-for-kids/?utm_source=Pew+Research+Center&utm_campaign=2d805b5222-Internet_Science_2025_10_28&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-2d805b5222-401240485 Most parents (like…
I saw this reel from Gabb, and it made me think about whether parents could actually band together and stop giving their kids social media. https://www.instagram.com/p/DQNIf8_jubf/ I'm not a mom yet, but I already dread the battle with screens. I don't think "everyone has it" is compelling enough for me to give my kids…
It’s that time of year again—time to start thinking about spending time with friends and family, planning exciting holiday activities, and of course, giving gifts. 🎁 We want to make sure that you and your child have a great experience this holiday, so here are two things to help ensure your Gabb gift is successful: Holiday…
This may be a bit repetitive since there are several posts about screen time, and the responses to those posts may eventually answer my question I'm sharing here. So I need a bit of help. My niece is often glued to her phone and seems a bit unhappy because of it. My niece does turn it in at night when she goes to bed and…
I don't remember what plan I signed up for when I bought Gabb in the first place. It's completely unintuitive how to install additional apps on the phone. I looked at the instructions from this post and couldn't figure out how to do this.…
Hi All! Is there an option for filtering the emojis? That are some flag emojis that I did not expect to be on the Gabb phone but it is there.

Why is the app library so limited, with only certain approved apps available? I understand the intention is to protect my child, but as the adult, I’m the one accessing and managing it. I’d like to know why we can’t choose apps freely from the entire Play Store—especially since we’re capable of researching and evaluating…
I created my son a teen Venmo account through my personal Venmo account but I am unable to log him in on his Gabb phone using his phone number. When it ask for a code to be sent to his number to clarify it’s the right person the text message never comes through on his phone. How do I fix this?
How do we (parents) submit an app to be reviewed and approved for Gabb phones? I have an app in mind but don't see anywhere to submit it for consideration.
Gabb Maps is not loading any of the information/map. I've deleted and reinstalled it as well…nothing changes. I'd like to see an update also with being able to download offline maps (similar to Google Maps). Can you explain if there is a bug or glitch going on?
I've been waiting patiently for over 2 1/2 months for my app requests to be addressed. Today my doctor asked me to add an investigational medication tracker app to the phone… if it's going to take over two months to hear anything back we will not be able to receive this medical treatment. The app is INFORMUS (formerly…
I've tried to add apps for my son's phone the last couple of days and after enabling them, he goes to the app store and there is nothing there for him to install. Once I refresh the page the app I enabled has the enable option again as if nothing happened.
Hi, my son has a gabb phone 4 Pro. We bought him a Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 Fitness tracker watch. We downloaded Samsung wearable and Samsung Health apps, which are both approved apps on gabbs list. However, when we try to pair the watch to his phone, we get a message saying, "Action not allowed. Setting is not available." Is…
My daughter plays the game spelling/word game Wordscapes and has an account that we created when we purchased the app with the "no ads" feature. When we tried logging into that account on her new Gabb 4 Pro phone, it wouldn't allow the login because they don't have their own username and password feature - only login with…
Hi Gabb. Really appreciate what you guys have done for my family so far but I'm a little concerned. My son has a Gabb phone 3 with the "advanced" type plan to get apps. I recently enabled an app for him from my account online. He downloaded the app just fine on his phone but I was really disappointed when he came to me…
On the Gabb Phone 4 Pro, my son has the Weather Channel App, but when he visits the radar it is a blank map- nothing shows up at all. If he joins the beta program in the Play Store, he gets the latest version, but the radar is still broken and now the video section causes the app to crash. He is really interested in the…
