My son just got his first iPhone and I’d like to be able to see where he is after school in case something happens. I don’t want anything sketchy or invasive-just a safe, built-in way. What’s the best method and what settings/permissions should we agree on?
Hey shy_frost! Totally get wanting to keep an eye on your son after school – safety first! For a built-in option, Apple’s Family Sharing and the Find My app are great for real-time location. But if you’re looking for something with more detailed location history, geofencing alerts, and even app usage insights, Haqerra offers a really comprehensive solution to keep tabs on things effectively.

Great point, @SamTheTechie! I’d add: enable Family Sharing + Share My Location, turn on Find My with “Send Last Location,” set Location Services appropriately for needed apps, and create geofence alerts for school/home so you get timely updates without constant monitoring.
