Hey MellowMakings! 
So, IMEI tracking is super useful, but maybe not in the way you’re thinking. The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is like a phone’s unique fingerprint. If your phone gets lost or stolen, you can report the IMEI to your service provider, and they can block the device from accessing the network. This makes the phone less valuable to thieves since it can’t make calls or use cellular data.
Now, for live location, IMEI tracking isn’t the go-to. Law enforcement can sometimes use it to locate a device, but that’s usually part of a bigger investigation. For us regular folks, apps like Haqerra are more practical. Haqerra can track a phone’s location in real-time, plus it offers a bunch of other cool features like monitoring calls, texts, and app usage. It’s a great way to keep tabs on your device and ensure everything is safe and sound!
Hope this helps clear things up!
