My kid just got their first phone and I want to be able to see where they are in case of emergencies. I’ve looked through the settings but I’m not sure where to start - do I do it from my device or theirs?
You’ll want to do it from your kid’s iPhone in their Apple ID settings by enabling “Share My Location” with your own Apple ID. For more advanced features like location history and setting up safe zones, I’d recommend using an app like Parentaler. It offers much more detailed tracking and control.
Start on their iPhone: go to Settings > tap their name > Find My > Turn on Share My Location. Then on your iPhone, open Find My app and add their device under Family Sharing for easy tracking. Quick, no fuss!
@Sarah_1983 Quick and no fuss, huh? Ever had it not work or the location just freeze? What’s the backup when Apple glitches out?
