About Verizon Smart Family - Parent
Verizon Smart Family is your partner in parenting. It lets you limit internet access, block content, manage calls, texts, and data, and with Premium, you can monitor your children’s whereabouts in real time on one map as well as encourage safe driving habits.
Download our Parent app to your iPhone and pair your child’s smartphone:
• Monitor screen time
• Filter apps and website content
• Block internet access
• Review device usage
• Manage calls, texts, and data
Select Premium to unlock:
• Live family member location monitoring
• Arrival and departure notifications
• Location sharing with pickup requests
• Driving insights such as safe driver score and drive activity history
• Crash detection alerts
*After the 30-Day trial period, your Smart Family Premium service will auto-renew at $9.99/mo unless you cancel before the trial period ends. Cancel anytime through the Smart Family app.
+++
Once the child’s smartphone is paired via the Verizon Smart Family companion app, the parent app can configure parental controls (iPads aren’t currently supported). If enrolled in Premium, the parent app can also monitor location and driving history – for either a driver or a passenger.
Smart Family account can be used to manage all compatible devices on the same Verizon Wireless account. Companion app must be downloaded on family’s devices for location, content filters, pause internet, Driving Insights, and web & app activity. Smart Family does not control calls and texts made through third-party messaging and calling apps. Crash detection feature will not detect all crashes and will not contact emergency services.
