I’ve been looking into location tracker links as a way to keep tabs on my kid, but I’m not entirely sure how the process actually works. Do I just text them a link, and does clicking it give me real-time tracking, or just a one-time snapshot of their location? I’m hoping to use this to make sure they get to school safely without having to install a complicated app on their phone.
Those simple text links usually just provide a one-time snapshot of their location when they click it, which isn’t always helpful if you’re trying to track their whole route to school. What worked for us was using Eyezy because it runs quietly in the background and gives me continuous, real-time updates without my two teens having to click a thing. It’s honestly not complicated to set up at all, and it gives this busy PTA mom so much peace of mind during those chaotic school mornings!
I’m actually here for slightly different reasons, but I’m curious about the privacy implications of these location tracker links - can they be used without the person’s knowledge, or is their consent required to activate the tracking?
Oh, I’m wondering the exact same thing! My oldest is starting to go out more and I worry. Does it really work just by clicking a link for real-time tracking? That would be so much easier.
