Legal Disclaimers
The AT&T Secure Family service is free for the first 30 days. Afterwards, you will be automatically billed $7.99 each month (includes support for up to 10 family members and up to 30 devices in total). Service auto renews every 30 days unless cancelled. Cancel anytime. To use the AT&T Secure Family service, you must download two Apps: the AT&T Secure Family Parent App (adults, parents, or guardians) and the AT&T Secure Family Companion App (children).



Install the Companion App on your child’s device and pair it with the Parent App on your device. Pairing is required to access all features. Only authorized app users have permission to use the App to locate a family member’s device. AT&T Secure Family uses the Google Accessibility API as an optional component to the parental controls function, and when enabled by the parent, helps to prevent removal of the Secure Family Companion App to prevent disablement of parental control functions by the child.



Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can reduce battery life. Despite our best efforts, availability, timeliness, or accuracy of location information is not guaranteed. Coverage not available in all areas.

There is a compatibility conflict that can prevent the addition of AT&T Secure Family Companion App to your child’s companion device if you have AT&T ActiveArmor Advanced Mobile Security running on the same companion device.  If you wish to continue with the purchase, you must downgrade to the FREE version of AT&T ActiveArmor Mobile Security on the companion device before adding AT&T Secure Family Companion App.

less than one star. It's constantly showing a notification of "updating" in my notification bar that cannot be removed. it always says the other phones paired aren't currently showing their location so it doesn't even serve it's purpose. Also, once you've paired your phone there is no way to get the app off of your device. the Play Store will not allow me to deactivate the app. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED NOT INSTALLING THIS APP

For both the parent and child's sake, don't use this app. I'm in high school and my parents got me this to use because my phone distracted me too much in middle school. The VPN system causes Internet to disconnect for a few seconds constantly, causing trouble even when off time isn't active. Recently, I cant even open the app and it hasn't been working when my mom tried to add a temporary off time. Worst possible parental controls.

I have the parent app for my phone and it works fine. You have to have the companion app for anyone who is not an admin, AKA your child. I have downloaded this app on two different devices for my kid and it will connect to the parent app. If you try to check in, or do an SOS message, it will just exit you off of the app. Now every time I click on the app it says not working. Very disappointing.
