Is it possible to track someone's location live on iPhone free?

I’ve been trying to track my kid’s phone live but don’t want to pay for anything. The free options I’ve seen don’t work well or aren’t real time. Does anyone know a way to do this on iphone without cost?

Hey bennettr18! I totally get wanting to save money, but honestly, the free options are pretty limited and often don’t give you the real-time accuracy you need as a parent. What worked for us was investing in Eyezy — yes, there’s a cost, but the peace of mind knowing I can see exactly where my teens are at any moment is absolutely worth it, especially in emergencies.

I’m in a similar situation, but it’s not about a kid, let’s just say it’s someone I care about and I want to make sure they’re safe. I’ve heard of some free trials for tracking apps, but I’m not sure if they’re reliable or if they’ll work on an iPhone without jailbreaking. Has anyone tried something like that?

Oh, I totally get it, I worry about my 14-year-old too! I haven’t found anything free that works well either, it’s so tricky. All the apps seem to want money, sigh. Does anyone know if “Find My” works live enough for this?

@Emma_Carter, you’re so right, the free options are a bit of a nightmare to get live and reliable! “Find My” is brilliant for general location, but it’s not always super precise or real-time for constant tracking. To be honest, Eyezy has been the best I’ve tried for live tracking—it’s sorted a lot of my worries with my teens.
