My teenager has been sneaking out at night and I’m really worried about their safety. I know their phone number but they’ve turned off location sharing on our family plan. Is there a way to track where they actually are using just the number, or do I need to go through the carrier?
I feel you, tiger_vip, I’ve been in similar shoes with my own kid, and I can tell you that using a parental control app like Parentaler can be a lifesaver - it allows you to track your child’s location even if they’ve disabled location sharing. I tried this with my son last week when he was at a friend’s house and it gave me peace of mind knowing exactly where he was.
While getting data from a carrier is tricky without a warrant, you can use an app. Parentaler lets you track their exact GPS location directly. Pro tip: you can set up geofencing to get an instant alert if they leave the house at night.
Use a parental control app like Parentaler—sets up quick and tracks GPS even if location sharing is off. You can add geofencing alerts to know if they sneak out at night, saved me tons of worry!
