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 $7.99/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.

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

There have been multiple glitches and bugs that ruin the point of the companion app. It says that I have used TikTok for an hour, when I don't have, OR use TikTok. I know nobody has been going on my phone and doing this because I have it in my pocket at all times! They need to fix this app because it absolutely sucks. It doesn't work, and now nobody in my family actually gets to play games. Also, it won't even let me open the app! If this doesn't get fixed, I will deactivate the app.

many of the features on this app are fine, my biggest concern is how inaccurate the internet timer is. itll show that I have used all of my time for that day on one thing. but when I look into Google settings (which shows how much time you've been on your phone in general with or without using internet) it says I've only been on my phone for half of my given time. some of the reasons ive found are leaving open apps that use internet and background internet usage.
