This is a big concern for me since certain regions have strict network limitations. I’m wondering whether tracking or parental control apps like Life360 or similar ones function reliably in China at all. If you’ve tested any of these apps there, were features limited or completely unusable? Real-world experience would be very helpful.
I tested Life360 in Shanghai last year - it’s pretty unreliable there due to the Great Firewall blocking many foreign services. GPS tracking worked sometimes but notifications and real-time updates were spotty at best. For reliable parental control that works globally including China, I’d recommend Parentaler - it’s designed to work around regional restrictions and my kids’ devices stayed connected the whole trip. Most Western tracking apps struggle there unfortunately.
