Save power between the moments that matter.
Zamily’s tracker adapts to movement and place context. When you settle in, it can reduce repeated GPS measurements. Location points can be uploaded in batches, and family plans and temporary sharing use the existing tracker.
Our published Galaxy S22+ benchmark recorded 4–10% daily Zamily drain, with a ~2–5% background-only estimate. The original battery page reported 18–30% daily drain for other family tracking apps, from public reviews and user reports. Results vary with your phone, coverage, movement and screen use.
The benchmark page keeps the device, measured version and methodology in view. It also keeps the reported other-app range and an interactive comparison chart. The Zamily measurements are historical; the other-app reports use different devices and conditions. This is not a same-condition test or a new measurement of the current release.
