How do I set up location sharing on my device and on my kid's devices?

Location sharing* is tied to the device on which the Greenlight app is installed. For Location sharing to work for all of your Greenlight account members, each individual must enable Location sharing privileges on their own device while logged into their own Greenlight app. 

To set up location sharing:

1. Log in to your Greenlight account on your device 

• Parents:  log in with phone number 
• Kids and Teens: log in with Greenlight username

2. Scroll down on your home dashboard to your ‘Family Safety’ tile 
3. In your Safety dashboard, you’ll see all the features not yet active. Tap ‘Activate’ and follow the flows to activate yourself. Tap ‘Remind’ to send a text to your kids for them to activate.
4. Tap through the onboarding screens 
5. You’re all set! Now you’ll be able to share your location (and see the location of) any member of your Greenlight account that mutually opts to share their location with you.

In some app versions+, you will find the ‘Safety’ tab at the bottom of the screen: 

1. Log in to your Greenlight account on your device
