About this app

AT&T Secure Family Companion® is a mobile app installed on family member’s devices to help their parents or guardians protect them by locating their device in real-time, managing their child’s screen time as well as the content they may access online, and understanding driving patterns as a driver or a passenger. Secure Family is available for every family, regardless of your mobile provider.

Legal Disclaimers
AT&T Secure Family Companion is free and only works with the purchase of AT&T Secure Family, available in the Google Play Store for $12/month (includes support for up to 10 family members) and up to 30 devices in total. Service auto renews every 30 days unless cancelled. To use the AT&T Secure Family service, you must download two Apps: the AT&T Secure Family App (adults, parents or guardians) and the AT&T Secure Family Companion App (family member). Visit att.com/securefamily for details.

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. Requires Android v.13 or higher.

Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can reduce battery life. Availability, timeliness, or accuracy of location 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.

AT&T Secure Family service uses a VPN service to help ensure parental controls features are active

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

I'm 19 years old, my dad only use this app to track me which is fine and he took off the filter. Now for some reason it's bugged and I can't even listen to some songs on my phone as well as this app slows down my phone. I genuinely don't know why filter like these are enabled for 18+ users there's should be automatic settings for users over 18+ or even 21. Also please fix the bugs on this app because even when I deactivated the app and my dad wasn't paying it my phone is still suffering.
