Verizon Family Companion

Install the Companion app on your kid’s phone to get VZ Smart Family features.

With the Verizon Family Companion app you can keep up with your family and they can keep up with you. Dependents on the Verizon Family account can:

- Locate Guardians, Members and other Dependents (if granted location sharing permission)

- Send a check-in (a location update to Guardians)

- Send a Pick-me-up request to a Guardian

- Start or receive a Safe Walk and send or receive an SOS

- View your driving insights

The Verizon Family Companion app is intended for minors in the family. Adults can use the Verizon Family app.

This app uses Accessibility and VPN services to support parental control features. Together, the Accessibility and VPN services are used to block children's access to websites prohibited by parents and to prevent children from disabling other parental control features.
