‘Where are you?’: Location sharing with Verizon Family
These days, family is who you share your locations with. And with so many location-sharing apps around, the Verizon Family app provides something extra: peace of mind. With Verizon Family, you can see your child’s location, even when the GPS setting is turned off on their phone, providing an extra layer of visibility to help you stay connected.**
Easy set up, too.
Here’s how it works: Set up profiles through the app, designating roles.
- Guardian—the primary account holder
- Dependent—your kids
- Member—trusted friends, extended family and loved ones who enable the GPS settings on their phones
Once linked, everyone’s location can be viewed from a single dashboard—no frantic texting required.
Text less. Know more.
