Why can’t I see my family’s locations on ATT secure family app?

Hi there, as mentioned above, you'll need to download the Secure Family Companion App in order to get full accessibility. 

You can refer to our website article ⁠AT&T Secure Family App for more information on this. 

Happy to help!

Hi @Jeremysg, We're here to help with your Secure Family app.

We want to inform you the Secure Family app has been upgraded to Secure Family.

AT&T Secure Family is an app for your Android or iPhone that allows you to keep track of your children and family members’ locations, set up automatic alerts, and even receive their text messages—which can be a great way to stay connected to the kids when they’re at college. You can learn more about this app here.

Feel free to reach out to  us for questions.

I’m having the same problem, I use to be able to see all phones on my network now I can’t. Any answers on this ? 

Hi @bobbyh300, we understand how important it is to get your phone working properly on the AT&T network, and we want to help you!

We'll need few details, to better understand:

• Have you confirmed that the app software is updated to the latest version on both devices? This enhances the performance of the app when you may run into errors.
• Have you tried uninstall and reinstall the app and check if the issue still persists.
• Have you confirmed in your account that the number listed for child phone is correct? You can do this within the app by accessing Settings > Account.
  
  For more information about how location tracking works check out the details under Features, alerts, and more when you visit Location tracking with AT&T Secure Family.

Please let us know so that we may further help identify the error you're receiving.

The app is not installed on all phones, in the past I could still see the location by cell towers. Now with the new update I can’t see anyone. And yes I did the new update 

The app need not be installed in all the phones, instead you can add the family members to the app and you can track it accordingly.

You can learn more about this app here.

Yea but you have to send an invite now, didn’t have to before. Kids don’t accept the invite. I guess I’ll save my $7.99 a month

This displays the location history as a timeline and shows a family member’s device location in a 24-hour map view. (You won’t see location history for times when the device’s location permissions or the device itself is turned off.) You can delete your family’s device location history in the Secure Family app settings. Location history cycles after seven days and is deleted on a periodic basis. 

Note: Only adult profiles can view family member device location histories and timelines.

Please let get back to us if you have any questions.
