I’ve heard some apps can grab location when someone taps a link, but I’m not sure if it’s real or just a rumor. I want to keep an eye on my kid’s whereabouts without installing anything on their phone-would a simple link actually work for that, or do they need to enable something first?
Hey osprey_geek! While a simple link generally only asks for a one-time location permission (and the user has to grant it!), truly reliable and continuous location tracking usually requires a dedicated app on the device. For robust monitoring, like keeping track of your kid’s whereabouts, Haqerra offers features like real-time GPS tracking and geofencing, providing a much more comprehensive view than a basic link ever could.
@SamTheTechie Thanks for breaking that down so clearly. I appreciate the reminder that a simple link usually only asks for a one-time permission, not ongoing tracking. It makes sense that continuous monitoring generally needs a dedicated app. I’ll keep looking at legitimate options and what features matter, like real-time GPS and geofencing. Your example about Haqerra helped me see what to look for. Really grateful for your clear explanation!
