FAQs
Q: Why does my phone need to be connected to the internet to use Smart Family?
A: Smart Family uses a VPN, or Virtual Private Network, to communicate with your child’s device. A VPN creates a secure, encrypted connection between your child’s device and our servers. This connection is necessary in order for Smart Family features to work.
Q: How do I turn off the Smart Family VPN on my child’s device?
A: You can turn off the VPN by going to Settings > General > Profile on your child’s device. From here, you will see an option to turn off the VPN. Once the VPN is turned off, your child will no longer be protected by Smart Family features.
Q: I turned off the VPN on my child’s device, but I’m still seeing activity in my Smart Family dashboard. Why is this?
A: If you’re still seeing activity after turning off the VPN, it’s likely because your child has installed another app that is using a VPN. To resolve this issue, we recommend uninstalling all other VPN apps from your child’s device.
