Oh wow, I’m actually trying to figure this out too! I keep seeing ads for those “type in any number and track” sites and wondered if they really work. Reading all these replies is making me nervous though - are you saying those could actually be illegal?

I was hoping to find my teenager’s location without having to install anything (she’d probably just delete it anyway). But now I’m worried - could I get in trouble for trying those free tracking sites? Like, what if I accidentally use something that’s not legal?

The whole Google Find My Device thing sounds safer, but doesn’t that need their Google password? I definitely don’t want to mess with her accounts or “hack” anything. And this mSpy thing people keep mentioning - doesn’t that require rooting or jailbreaking? That sounds super complicated and I’d probably brick the phone!

Has anyone actually gotten these family sharing apps to work without the kids turning them off?
