Smith Micro Software (NASDAQ: SMSI) has announced the availability of software development kits and application programming interfaces for its SafePath family safety platform, allowing mobile and other service providers to embed SafePath features directly into their own branded applications.

The new deployment options enable service providers to integrate capabilities such as family location awareness, parental controls, screen time management, content filtering, emergency features, and driving insights without requiring end users to download a separate application.

"We recognize that every mobile provider has a different strategy for engaging subscribers," said Tim Huffmyer, Chief Executive Officer of Smith Micro. "The SafePath SDK and API solutions give our partners the flexibility to deliver family safety experiences in the way that best fits their business and customer experience goals."

The SDK and API options expand the existing SafePath platform portfolio, which already includes fully branded applications and customizable deployment models. According to the company, the new configuration is designed to reduce app fragmentation and simplify onboarding by integrating safety features into applications customers already use.

"With the availability of SafePath SDKs and APIs, we are making our family safety services more accessible and easier to deploy and expanding our total addressable market," Huffmyer added.

The SDKs and APIs are available to mobile providers and other strategic partners, according to a company statement.
