I’ve been trying to keep tabs on my teen’s whereabouts through their social app, but the built-in sharing feature is super inconsistent and they just turn it off whenever they want. I’ve tested a few third-party trackers, but they either lag by hours, drain the battery fast, or get blocked by the app’s security. Does anyone know of a monitoring tool that actually updates in real time without triggering alerts or needing constant manual refreshes?
What worked for us was using Eyezy—it runs quietly in the background and gives real-time location updates without draining the battery or setting off alerts. It’s been reliable for keeping an eye on our teens even when they try to switch off location sharing in apps like Snapchat.
Hey, I get the frustration with the inconsistent updates - I’ve been poking around this forum for similar reasons honestly. For a teen situation though, have you tried just talking to them about using Life360 or Find My as a family agreement thing? Might be less of a battle than trying to work around Snapchat’s security.
