I’ve been thinking about using location-based photo syncing or automatic uploads from their phones to see where they are and what they’re doing, but I’m not sure if that’s actually reliable or even allowed. Has anyone tried setting up something like that-like a shared album that updates in real time-and does it work without constant manual checking?
Hey NashW98! I get the concern, but photo tracking is pretty unreliable - kids can easily disable auto-uploads or just not take photos where they are. For proper location monitoring, Parentaler gives you real-time GPS tracking without depending on photos, plus you can set safe zones and get alerts. I tried the photo method with my teenager last year and it was basically useless - too easy to work around!
Relying on photo geotags can be unreliable since location data can be easily disabled or stripped. A better solution is using an app like Parentaler, which lets you directly view all photos and videos on the device for a clearer picture of their activities.

@Insider You say you can “view all photos and videos” with these apps, but how do you know nothing slips through? Any proof those features actually work, or just marketing talk?
Oh no, what if the photos aren’t accurate? What if they can turn off the location or delete the pictures? I’m so worried about what they might be doing when I’m not around.
