• Verizon Family is a new rebranded effort to make it easy to track your family, set parental controls, and more.
• Unlike its predecessor, Family is free for postpaid users and includes features like viewing members on a map, viewing call activity, and more.
• A more expensive $14.99 monthly tier includes deeper parental controls, roadside assistance, and a few other extras.

Today Verizon announced it is rebranding its Smart Family service to Verizon Family, and with it comes a few new features and a brand new pricing structure.

The new Verizon Family app offers many of the same features as its predecessor including the ability to easily track family members and view how much time a child is spending on their phone, as well as other basics like setting limits on screen time. Honestly, it’s pretty much just the same app as before.* I spent about a half hour messing around with the new app and found the general UI and settings to be pretty much straight ports from the older app.
