Verizon is About to Break our Watches

4 hours ago

Verizon is replacing Gizmohub with Verizon Family, but the new app does not support users with only Gizmo lines (no Verizon smartphones), causing login and verification issues.
The author contacted Verizon support multiple times (June 17, 19, July 2, 2026); reps acknowledged the issue but provided no fix, with inconsistent promises about delaying Gizmohub's deprecation.
Verizon set the deprecation date after a holiday weekend, and despite assurances, the problem remains unresolved, risking loss of communication with kids via text on Monday.
