A Family Tracking App is a mobile application designed to help families stay connected and ensure the safety of their members. It allows real-time location sharing, geofencing, and sometimes has other phone monitoring features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with so many phone tracking apps for children<\/a>, it can be hard to find the one that suits your needs. That’s where our research comes in. Our HeyLocate team has tried different services (popular and not) to show what they can do, their pros and cons.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the whole, a family tracker app for Android or iPhone allows you to discover and locate another smartphone on a map. It is helpful, especially when you cannot call and contact your loved ones instantly, particularly children or the elderly. Moreover, many family tracking apps let parents control children\u2019s mobile usage. It is important, as over a third of young people in 30 countries report being cyberbullied<\/a>, with 1 in 5 skipping school because of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Family Locator Function<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A tracking app for family locates another phone using GPS technology, and aerial map. Then it lets you get speed alerts and gives you extensive insight into your family’s movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A family locator uses GPS because it is not reliant on a Wi-Fi or cellular data connection. A GPS is just a radio that gets position data from satellites, and it is distinct from any cellular, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth radio. All that is required is to sign up and install the app on your smartphone and your family member’s devices, and to enable GPS services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many family tracking apps include more features than just location tracking, for example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
