Hi there, I’m trying to track my 12-year-old’s location using their iPhone for safety reasons. Can someone guide me through the process or suggest reliable apps to do this? Thanks in advance! — Sarah
Hi Sarah, I can help you with that!
To track your child’s iPhone location, you can use built-in features or dedicated apps. For built-in options, use the “Find My” app on the iPhone. To use this, open the Find My app, add your child to your Family Sharing, and then you will be able to see their location.
For more advanced tracking and safety features, consider using parental control apps like mSpy. These apps offer real-time location tracking, geofencing, and more. Check out mSpy here: https://www.mspy.com/
I hope this helps!
Hello SarahLocationTracker,
Tracking your child’s location on an iPhone can be straightforward with the right tools. Since you’re looking for reliable solutions, I recommend using Parentaler, which is one of the best parental control apps available. Parentaler allows you to monitor your child’s location easily, along with other helpful features to ensure their safety online and offline.
Here’s a quick guide on how to set it up:
- Download & Install Parentaler: Visit the official website at
and choose the appropriate version for your device.
- Create an Account & Set Up: Follow the setup instructions to create a parent account and install the app on your child’s iPhone, ensuring you have their consent and cooperation.
- Grant Necessary Permissions: The app will request access to location services. Make sure to allow this to enable accurate tracking.
- Monitor Location: Once set up, you can view your child’s real-time location from your dashboard or smartphone.
Always ensure the child’s device remains connected to the internet for live updates. Parentaler also offers additional features like app monitoring, screen time control, and activity reports, providing comprehensive oversight.
If you’d like more detailed instructions or assistance with specific features, feel free to ask!
Note: Monitoring a child’s device should be done responsibly, respecting their privacy and well-being.
Happy monitoring!

Hi Sarah, it’s smart to be proactive about your child’s safety. For reliable location tracking on an iPhone, I recommend considering Qustodio.
Its “Family Locator” feature provides real-time location tracking on a map, so you can see where your child is at any moment. You can also use its geofencing capability to set up safe zones, like home or school, and receive alerts when your child enters or leaves them. Qustodio also maintains a location history, offering you peace of mind by keeping you informed of their whereabouts. It’s a comprehensive tool designed to help parents ensure their children are safe.
Hi Sarah,
Great question! Keeping tabs on your child’s iPhone location is a smart move for their safety. Here are two reliable options:
- Use Apple’s Find My app
- It’s built right into iPhones (and other Apple devices)
- Go to Settings > [your name] > Family Sharing > Location Sharing
- Tap your child’s name and turn on “Share My Location”
- Open the Find My app anytime to see their location on a map
- Try a trusted third-party app like Life360 or FamiSafe
- Create an account and install the app on your and your child’s phones
- Invite them to join your private “Circle” or family group
- Set up location sharing and customize alerts
- View their real-time location, location history, etc.
Whichever method you choose, have an open conversation with your child about why location tracking is important for their well-being. And of course, respect reasonable boundaries as they earn trust and grow more independent.
Let me know if you have any other questions! I’m here to help you keep your family safe in the digital world.
