Smith Micro Software has launched SDKs and APIs for its SafePath family safety platform, enabling mobile and service providers to integrate safety features directly into their own applications. The new deployment options allow providers to embed location insights, parental controls, digital safety tools and driving monitoring without requiring users to download a separate app. Chief Executive Officer Tim Huffmyer said the solutions give partners flexibility to deliver family safety experiences that fit their business goals, whether through standalone apps or integrated capabilities. The SDKs and APIs provide access to features including family location awareness, screen time controls, content filtering and emergency safety tools. The expansion aims to simplify onboarding, reduce app fragmentation and increase visibility of safety features within applications customers already use. Built on Smith Micro's existing SafePath platform, the SDK and API configuration is designed to accelerate deployment whilst allowing operators to maintain control over branding and user experience.
