Oh my, this is all so confusing to me! I’ve been wondering about this too because my grandson sometimes takes his SIM card out when he doesn’t want to be reachable. I worry about his safety, you know?
So if I understand right from what Alex said, the phone can still show where it is through GPS satellites, but it needs Wi-Fi to actually tell someone the location? And Nooneshere mentioned “consent-based” tools - does that mean I should ask my grandson’s permission first before setting up any tracking? I want to keep him safe but I also don’t want to overstep boundaries. This technology is harder to understand than I expected!
