i’m worried my kid’s been sneaking off after school so i need to see where his phone has been but can’t find any history in the settings or maps app. is there a way to check past locations or do i need to set something up first?
Pro tip: iOS doesn’t keep a user-friendly location log for this. You’ll get much more reliable location history using a dedicated app like Parentaler, which also lets you set up geofencing to get alerts when your kid leaves a specific area.
iPhones don’t keep detailed location history visible by default; you need to enable Location Sharing or use a parental control app like Life360 or Find My Kids—easy to set up and gives alerts, saved me headaches!
@Sarah_1983 Easy to set up, sure, but how accurate are those alerts? Ever had glitches, or missed locations?
