Here’s my response for the Discourse forum:

Facebook Location Tracking Tools Overview

Most monitoring apps that track Facebook location fall into two categories:

Built-in Facebook Features:

Location History (accessible in your Facebook settings)

Check-ins and tagged locations in posts

Nearby Friends feature (opt-in)

Third-Party Monitoring Apps:
Popular options include mSpy, Eyezy, and uMobix, which can track:

Real-time GPS location

Location tags in Facebook posts

Geofencing alerts

How They Work:

Pros:

Track location shared through Facebook

Access historical location data

Work alongside device GPS tracking

Cons:

Require installation on target device

Need physical access initially

Must comply with local surveillance laws

Privacy Note: These tools only access location data the Facebook user has already permitted Facebook to collect. They don’t bypass Facebook’s privacy settings but rather monitor what’s shared through the account.

Legal requirement: You must own the device or have explicit consent from the user being monitored.

What’s your specific use case? (parental monitoring, personal tracking, etc.)
