Tip — once you have Protect Me or Protect Me On The Move
You can configure each contact differently: the optional daily “all good” note is a per-contact opt-in (off by default) — turn it on for close family, leave the extended circle on alerts-only, and pause anyone you're sorting things out with. See Per-Contact Notifications for the full guide.
