To keep your Anio App up to date with the latest security standards and benefit from optimized features, you need to update the app to the latest version.
This update also brings some exciting new features!
1. Improved battery life & more sustainable use
We have optimized the tracking system to reduce the battery load of your Anio watch and extend the battery life.
🔋 More efficient standard tracking
• Regular tracking now takes place by default at 60-minute intervals.
• This means a longer battery life throughout the day.
• Additionally, every time you open the Anio App, your child's current location is queried, provided GPS or WiFi tracking is available. This happens automatically. You should be able to see the current location on the map within a minute at the latest.
🌍 New Explorer mode for spontaneous use
• If more frequent tracking is desired at short notice, you can activate the Explorer mode in the map view.
• In this mode, the watch is tracked every 5 minutes for 60 minutes.
• After the period expires, you will receive a push notification.
🎒 School route mode remains unchanged
• During the set school route times, tracking continues every minute to ensure precise location tracking.
• The school route times can be individually adjusted.
🔋New battery display – simpler & clearer
• Instead of a percentage, you now see a clear symbol that shows at a glance when the watch needs to be charged.
👍You can always see your child's current location by simply opening the Anio App. As soon as you start the app, the watch is automatically actively tracked for 3 minutes – meaning you get a very current location display without having to make any additional settings.
2. SMS commands are removed – More convenience & clarity in the app
To make using the Anio watch more intuitive, clearer, and cost-efficient, we have removed the outdated SMS commands.
This feature dates back to times with poor network coverage – nowadays it is unnecessary.
But don't worry! All important functions are now directly available in the Anio App:
✅ Firmware version directly retrievable on the watch – No more cumbersome requests via SMS.
✅ Last GPS position always visible in the app – With additional WiFi tracking data for more accurate information on the last location.
✅ Turn off the watch via the app – Simple & direct.
✅ Reset the watch to factory settings – Step-by-step guide available in the Help Center.
✅ Make the watch ring – Simply tap the bell icon in the device overview in the Anio App.
With these changes, your Anio watch will become even more user-friendly, efficient, and durable. 🚀
Our goal is for your Anio watch to reliably accompany you for as long as possible. This update ensures an optimal balance between precise location tracking and efficient battery usage.
