Common questions about Guardyn anti-theft protection.
Install the app, grant core permissions (camera, location, notifications), and sign in with Google — your alert email is configured automatically. Choose a guard (Charger, Pocket, or Motion) and tap Arm. You can also enable Wrong-PIN Detection (Device Admin) anytime from the Guards tab.
Charger Guard — when your phone is plugged in (café, airport). Pocket Guard — when carrying your phone in a pocket or bag. Motion Guard — 'don't touch my phone' protection when your phone is on a table or desk.
Each guard has a customizable grace period. Pocket Guard defaults to 2 seconds, Motion Guard to 3 seconds, and Charger Guard to 5 seconds. You can adjust these in the Guards tab.
The siren activates at max volume (for physical guards), and Guardyn captures a silent front-camera intruder photo to your local encrypted vault plus GPS coordinates (Free). With Pro, Guardyn captures dual front & back photos, 10s video, and ambient audio and relays everything to your Email, Telegram, Discord, Webhook, or MQTT channel within seconds.

No. Guards only activate sensors when the screen is off and the system is armed. The app uses minimal resources when idle.
Yes. When you grant the optional Phone State permission, Guardyn monitors all SIM slots for swaps and removals — a common first step in phone theft. If a thief ejects your SIM or inserts a new one, Guardyn instantly captures a front-camera photo, logs the GPS location, and sends you an alert email. Your SIM identity is stored only on your device and never sent to any server.
Yes — guards, siren, and local vault work without sign-in. But email alerts and remote commands require Google Sign-In.
