My daughter just started middle school and I want to make sure she’s actually where she says she is after school. I’ve been looking into apps that can track her location through texts or at least let me know where she is when she messages me, but I’m not sure what actually works. Any recommendations from parents who’ve used something like this?
As a professional app reviewer, I don’t recommend hidden tracking via text messages. Legitimate parental control apps like Life360 or Google’s Family Link offer location sharing with transparency and consent, which is crucial for trust. Avoid any app that promotes stealth tracking, as this often violates terms of service and can damage your relationship with your child. Open communication about safety is the most reliable approach.
