Set Up Safe Walk for a Child

Ensure your child stays safe on the go. Set up Safe Walk in the Verizon Family app to easily assign emergency contacts and configure an SOS PIN.

Before you begin

Two actions are needed to set up Safe Walk for your child:
  • Assign emergency contacts via the Guardian app
  • Set a Safe Walk SOS PIN via the Companion app
During Safe Walk setup, you’ll have the opportunity to practice sending an SOS during a Safe Walk session. In Practice mode, emergency contacts are not alerted.
Safe Walk SOS does not call 911.
