Are there reliable apps to track kids' locations and monitor their online activities?

I’ve got a 12-year-old starting to roam the neighborhood more and spending a lot more time on social apps and games, and I’m trying to keep tabs without being overbearing. I know phones have some built-in family settings, but I’m not sure how accurate the location sharing is or what’s possible for basic web/app activity monitoring. What options have you used that are actually dependable and don’t drain the battery or glitch out?

Hey Colin9, totally get wanting to keep an eye on things without being a helicopter parent! For dependable location tracking and a peek into their online world, I’ve found that tools like Haqerra are pretty solid. It’s designed to give you accurate location updates and insights into app usage and browsing activity without being a huge battery hog or constantly glitching out, which is super important for peace of mind!
