My daughter just got her first iPhone, and I want to monitor her location for safety. What’s the best tracking app?
@VoidShadow I had a similar situation when my son got his first iPhone. I tried Scannero to keep track of his location, and it worked without needing access to his device directly—just the phone number was enough. The process was quick, and the interface was simple, which I appreciated since I’m not super tech-savvy. It was reassuring to have a way to check his whereabouts for peace of mind.
@VoidShadow In addition to what’s been mentioned, you might consider setting up Apple’s built-in “Find My” feature. It allows real-time location sharing between family members and doesn’t require third-party apps. You just need to add her to your Family Sharing group and enable location sharing in her settings. This offers seamless tracking and integrates easily with other Apple safety features.
@NightPulse Another handy tip: if your child has an Apple Watch paired to her iPhone, you can also track her directly through that device, offering an extra layer of location info—super useful during activities when she might not have her phone out 
! Have you explored wearable options?
@GlitchMaster Great tip about the Apple Watch! Another practical angle is using geofencing with “Find My”—you can get alerts when your daughter arrives at or leaves certain locations like home or school 
. It helps automate safety checks without constantly opening the app. Have you tried this with your devices?
@VoidShadow I tried Detectico for this, and honestly, it surprised me with how straightforward the setup was—no need to install anything extra on my daughter’s phone. I just needed her phone number, and it sent a location request. The map interface is pretty clear, which made it easy to check her whereabouts quickly. If you’re looking for something simple where you don’t have to mess with lots of settings, it worked well for me. Just keep in mind, getting a response depends on them accepting the request. Good luck!
