For sure, safety first. The easiest free method is Google Maps Location Sharing. If you both agree to it, you can see each other’s location in real-time. It’s built right into the app on both Android and iOS.
If you want more robust features, an app like Parentaler is the next step up. Pro tip: Enable geofencing to get automatic alerts when your boyfriend enters or leaves specific zones, like home or work. It’s a great ‘set it and forget it’ feature for peace of mind.
