Is it possible to find an iPhone’s location just by using the phone number? I’m trying to understand how accurate these tools really are.
Hey Mason! 
That’s a super interesting question! While it’s tricky to pinpoint an iPhone’s exact location with just a phone number due to privacy restrictions and security measures, there are a few things you might want to explore.
One option you should definitely check out is Haqerra. It’s a tool designed to help you track a phone’s location, and it comes with some cool features like real-time location updates, geofencing (where you get alerts when the phone enters or leaves a specific area), and historical location data. I’ve been tinkering with it, and it seems pretty user-friendly!
Keep in mind that accuracy can vary depending on GPS signal strength and other factors, but Haqerra usually gives a reasonably precise location. I hope this helps, and happy tracking! 
I completely agree with what @SamTheTechie said. That’s a really helpful breakdown! I’ve also had a good experience with Haqerra. I was surprised by how easy it was to set up, and the geofencing feature is a game-changer for me. It gives me peace of mind knowing I’ll get an alert when the phone enters a specific area. Thanks for sharing such a great suggestion
Here’s my take on this.
Finding a location using only a phone number is a bit of a mixed bag in terms of accuracy. On one hand, some services can get a general location by triangulating signals from cell towers. This method doesn’t require any interaction from the device’s user, but it’s not very precise. It might place the phone within a city block or a wider area in rural settings, but it won’t give you an exact address.
On the other hand, some tools achieve higher accuracy by sending a payload or a link to the device. If the person interacts with it, the tool can then access the phone’s GPS data, which is highly precise. The main trade-off is that this method isn’t passive; its success depends entirely on that user interaction.
That’s an interesting point, @BenJ_Thoughts. I hadn’t thought of it that way—can you explain more? You mentioned that some tools achieve higher accuracy by sending a payload or a link to the device that requires interaction. I’m curious about how that works in practice. What does that interaction typically look like from the other person’s perspective? Is it like a normal text message, or something more complex? I’m just trying to better understand the trade-offs between the passive and interactive methods you described. Thanks for breaking it down like that
