Verizon Smart Family Review & Set Up Instructions

[@blezz3d]

hey! why is the battery grayed out most of times? my child's battery goes from Gray to green, but mostly gray and it makes me feel like it's not monitoring those times.

[@blurrrrrrr]

anyone else whos over 18 with strict parents?

[@rockstarmom3121]

Your parents aren't that strict if you're allowed to use KZbin.

[@blurrrrrrr]

bold of you to assume im allowed to-

[@JosephGenther]

get a job and pay for your own phone

[@KimmyStafford-os2fp]

It also syncs the child's contacts so it tells me the name that is in her contacts. Also location in real time!!

[@meredithtomblin7654]

Hi! Thank you for info . My kids have iwatches , how do I get the companion app on the watch ?

[@hatpat6440]

You cant

[@JosephCampbell-ox8ph]

No way you want this shit on your I watch💀💀. Can there be any expectations for privacy?? You don’t need to micromanage your kids every move get a life you bit h

[@cerbiatttu]

cool! my parents burn an extra ten dollars just because they have trust issues!

[@xyianni]

literally for a game i had when i was EIGHT.

[@brianjenkins6120]

What you are calling “trust issues” is in reality decades of experience watching teens and youth making ignorant and foolish decisions I.e. watching porn, viewing sites promoting suicidal decisions , on and on …… so whine on young one there will come a day you will realize that all the things that you despised about your parents were in reality parameters they set because they love you and care about you, but you probably won’t understand that because you know everything right now or so you think.

[@rockstarmom3121]

Sounds like you have behavior issues because if you weren't trying to hide anything,the monitoring app wouldnt bother you being on there.

[@xyianni]

@@rockstarmom3121 It’s not the fact that they can see everything, it’s the fact that everything online is restricted.

[@zaragozaj128]

I wouldn't trust you either

[@hatpat6440]

It’s easy to disable vpn. Get rid of this type of parenting

[@pinacate8975]

Is the other person gets a notification that you've been tracking them And also do they can't track you?

[@mikahshields6221]

Can it track if you delete it

[@pattiforrester5355]

To those finding fault with monitoring....When you have children of your own you are free to raise as you think. Please do not tell others how to raise their children. Not your business. Just maybe the kids have given a reason to monitor..you do not know squat.

[@Verytots]

“You do not know squat” wtf 😭😭😭😭

[@annanuhnuh]

So the kids plan doesn't come with the family control??

[@kevinreitan536]

will it block incoming calls? spam/phishing calls?

[@Nataliecorsonbr]

Yes.

[@lisaturner2888]

If I restrict Internet, can they use Wi-Fi?

[@hatpat6440]

No

[@EllieLugton]

How to set up the companion app?

[@heatherholker]

Awesome information. Do you have an opinion on how this compares to Bark or Life 360?

[@katielux357]

thanks for this video. Do you think Verizon Smart Family is a replacement for Bark? Or do you have a preference on which to use for young children? Thanks!

[@FamilyTech]

Smart family is good for shutting down the internet on data at night, I use Bark to monitor content. Verizon smart family doesn't really monitor content. I do not use Bark's VPN though. It is not necessary to monitor content. I use Verizon's VPN

[@JosephCampbell-ox8ph]

@@FamilyTechget a life and stop teaching parents to not trust their kids. Number one way to lose relationships with your kids is to do stuff like this. I hope your kids never talk to you again ngl.

[@JosephCampbell-ox8ph]

Awful parent omh

[@TraceyBlack-o7h]

Thank you so much for the information... I really needed this information

[@seekandcrush]

How do you add parent?

[@kivonaa]

got thwt notification from my mom and immediately ignored

[@brockstevens1096]

Great program and I'm adding it. These phones are on my account and I pay the FULL BILL. My children are not of working age so in technical terms, if it makes anyone feel better, I'm monitoring MY own phones. I've expressed to them that they are free to remove this once their first W2 comes in the mailbox. At that point I will gladly "slide into their DM's" with the monthly bill. Facts.

[@krish_kapoor28]

Bad parent

[@angelaryanrnbsn2764]

These plans are ridiculous WHAt child doesn't know how to delete an APP? They are NOT parent controlled or SAFE.

[@rockstarmom3121]

you are correct! it is easy to delete it. It's just as easy for me as a parent to remove the phone from their posession for deleting the monitoring app.Parents can restrict their ability to download or delete apps thru Iphone with a password.

[@besofryoutube]

@@rockstarmom3121ok

[@tylerkeith9378]

Does it notify me if my child tries to look up something that is blocked on Google?

[@FamilyTech]

No

[@KasperskyFan2111]

My parents put something like that on my phone plan when I was 14, so glad I know how to bypass it

[@mads1210]

my parents have this now what do you mean by bypass?

[@Orangesnake221]

My parents put this on me and my siblings phone when I was 14 as well, it was horrible

[@omegaferraribeachhouse]

how do u bypass it?

[@392_RHINO]

​@mads1210 someone gonna kidnap you and your parents won't be able to find you

[@mocade7]

IT'S FOR SAFETY!!!

[@mst_luciddd]

can they see my text messages?

[@Ag6410.]

Yes

[@wereallsick420]

GOT EM!!! Lmao😂

[@jacobsfire4733]

I’m cooked 💀

[@iloveunicorns86]

my niece just turned 16 and i have the verizon smart family app and im having issues with instagram its not blocking it do you know why?

[@BaseBallBoi207]

You can’t block it

[@lormac2769]

Do u prefer a different parent app instead of Verizon Family App

[@hollandhale1136]

Thank you.

[@coldmagma6461]

Adults are overthinkers. Not trusting your children is disrespectful on another level

[@ericahuerta9692]

Some of us have trusted our children. Tried to let them be independent and make the right decisions. And unfortunately we gave our kids too much rope and they gang themselves. Also it’s not going through their journal or personal text messages, it’s blocking content YOU as the parent deem inappropriate for your child. When they are 18 and want to no longer live under my roof then they can choose to do whatever the hell they want. You’re confusing privacy and trust with being a parent and protecting your child and not just giving them free reign.

[@Nataliecorsonbr]

​@@ericahuerta9692 and they raise sneaky rude children. Just because they disobeyed you, they are CHILDREN kids get into trouble.... it's not uncommon

[@XxCrawdadCraigxX]

keeping coping, child

[@G.i.modeMonsta]

Sure go let you children watch porn, also give them access to things they shouldn’t experience until adult age great parenting 😂😂😂😂

[@rockstarmom3121]

You're a minor, we don't have to trust you we have to parent you.
