Verizon Family Companion

Family location sharing made simple — Verizon Family Companion keeps you connected to the people who matter most. Designed for younger family members, this app lets dependents on a Verizon Family account stay in touch with guardians through real-time location sharing, check-ins, and emergency features.

Stay connected with instant location updates. Share your whereabouts with guardians and see theirs in return (with permission), so everyone knows where everyone is at a glance. Send a quick check-in to let guardians know you've arrived safely, or request a pick-me-up when you need a ride home.

Handle emergencies with confidence. Start a Safe Walk to notify guardians you're heading somewhere, and they'll follow your route. If you need immediate help, send an SOS alert that reaches guardians right away. View your driving insights to understand your habits behind the wheel and develop safer driving patterns.

Enjoy seamless connectivity across devices. Basic location sharing is now available on your Smartwatch via Wear OS, complete with convenient Complications for quick access. Stay in sync whether you're using your phone or wearable.

Parental controls keep you protected. The app uses Accessibility and VPN services to enforce parental restrictions, blocking access to prohibited websites and preventing disabling of safety features. Parents and guardians manage controls separately through the Verizon Family app. Verizon Family Companion is the trusted way for families to stay closer together.
