Hello, We understand the importance of being able to use the Phone Presence feature in SmartThings. 

Make sure you are following these steps to activate the feature with the phones. https://www.samsung.com/ca/support/apps-services/mobile-presence-smartthings/

Be sure to allow the SmartThings app has the Location Permission set to Allow all the Time. Settings>Security and Privacy>Privacy>Permission Manager>Location>SmartThings

I am also including this link that contains information for sharing the SmartThings account to allow members of the family permissions to control smart devices within the location. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00078860/

For additional assistance, we recommend reaching out to the SmartThings Team directly.
