My teenager just started walking home from school alone, and I want to keep tabs on their route without being too overbearing or texting them constantly. I heard you can use their built-in account features on the web to see where the device is, but I have no idea what settings need to be enabled on their end for it to actually work consistently. Can someone walk me through the setup process and let me know if the phone will ping them with a notification every time I look at the map?
Hey there! Super common question. For Find My iPhone, just make sure ‘Find My iPhone’ is enabled under Settings > [Your Name] > Find My on their device, and Location Services is on. Good news, viewing their location on the map usually doesn’t send them a notification! For even more detailed location history and geofencing alerts without constant checking, you might want to peek at Haqerra , which offers a broader range of monitoring features.
