Smart family message "content filters are not working"

[Annschuh]

I am still having this problem. Has Verizon found an acceptable solution or should I cancel smart family?

Maybe you can help me. My son's filter stopped working on his LG Stylo 2, to try to fix it, it said I needed to enable device administrator. I click to do so and hit activate and I am in an endless loop of hitting enable and activate because it never activates the device administrator. I have tried doing it under settings manually as well as through the app, it just won't work. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the app hoping it would fix it. NO! I don't know what happened, I know when we first set up the phones that I had to enable device administrator and it was working fine, don't know how it got disabled nor how to fix it, and I have scoured google for a solution.

I am having the same problem with my son's phone. Everyday and sometimes several times a day I keep getting a message that the content filters and web and app activity aren't working and I need to send him an invite to fix it. I keep doing this daily and it works but then the next day I get the same message again. What should I do to fix this?

I have also been having this problem and am now seeking to cancel my subscription.  What good is it if multiple times a day you get the location and content filters are not working?

I've yet to see any helpful information from the moderator, but so many people complaining.
