I’m trying to keep tabs on my kid’s whereabouts after school, but I don’t want to install anything sketchy-I already have their Apple ID and password. I’ve tried the Find My app but it only shows my own devices. Is there a built-in way to see another iPhone’s location from mine, or am I missing a setting?
Hi Leo! What worked for us was using the Family Sharing feature with Find My — once you set up Family Sharing and add your kid’s Apple ID to your family group, you can see their location through the Find My app without installing anything extra. Also, if you want something a bit more robust for monitoring, I’ve found Eyezy really helpful for keeping track in a non-intrusive way.
Hey, so for Find My to work you both need to share location with each other through the app - like your kid would need to accept a sharing request from you.
There’s also Family Sharing which is probably the easiest legit way to do it if they’re under 18. I’ve been looking into similar stuff lately lol.
Oh i feel this! I worry about my middle one walking home from the bus stop too. If you’re on the same Apple ID/Family Sharing you should be able to see it through Find My > Devices. But if its a separate Apple ID maybe try logging into iCloud.com with their credentials? The location sharing needs to be turned on in their settings first tho. Im not super techie either lol
