What counts as a legitimate phone tracker for safety-parental control apps, built-in OS features, or carrier tools-with consent from the user? How do accuracy, privacy protections, and cost compare across popular options?
For family safety, I’ve tested all three types. Built-in features like Apple’s Find My or Google’s Family Link are free but basic. Carrier tools work okay but often have monthly fees and limited features.
Parentaler gives you the best accuracy and privacy protection - I set it up for my kids’ phones last month and love the real-time location without draining their battery. The key is always getting consent first and explaining why you’re using it.
