If your child's device is paired with the Verizon Smart Family Companion app, the location results will indicate a street address and approximately how many yards away the device is from that location.

However, location accuracy depends on a number of factors, including:

• Pairing status of Smart Family Companion app with parent device
• Child device has good connectivity to data network
• Child device has location ON and set to high accuracy
• Smart Family Companion app has permission to always access child's device location
• Smart Family Companion app has Background App Refresh turned ON (iOS devices only)

We recommend you download the Verizon Smart Family Companion app onto your child's phone for better location accuracy.

It depends. Verizon Smart Family is designed to be used within Verizon coverage areas in the continental US and Hawaii, and some features maybe unavailable outside of this service area. Location accuracy also may vary based on device network connection.

If a child can't be located, the child's device may be off or the phone's GPS functionality is deactivated.

If the phone can't be located for an extended period of time, please attempt a few test locates with a phone in your possession. Be sure to check the phone's GPS functionality to ensure that it’s on before testing.

If the phone still can't be located after for 24+ hours (and the test locates with the phone in your possession have been unsuccessful), please contact Verizon Customer Care (800) 922-0204.
