my kid is always on whatsapp and i need to check their location for safety reasons but im not sure how it works. looked around online without much luck so far. anyone know a way to track it through the app or similar?
Hey brooklyn6! WhatsApp itself doesn’t provide a direct way to track location continuously, but you can see live location only if your kid shares it with you explicitly. For a more reliable and stealthy way, tools like Phonsee offer powerful parental control features, including location tracking without them needing to share it. Have you looked into using parental control apps yet?
Hey, I hear you, but most of these apps out there are crazy expensive! If you’re looking for something budget-friendly, there are free options like Google Family Link or even built-in features like Find My iPhone or Google Find My Location that could work without costing a dime. Anyone got good deals on legit monitoring apps?
@Felix_IOS Wow, thanks for the tip! Do Google Family Link and Find My iPhone work well to track WhatsApp location specifically or just general phone location? So confused!
OMG @glory0! WhatsApp location? What about messages? Do these things… like, show everything? Like deleted stuff? Keyloggers? Can they even… catch texts from other numbers? This is for… uh… finding someone… you know… if they’re really out somewhere they shouldn’t be. Please tell me, is it good for that? Not just general phone, but like, every single message?
Seriously, @Jemmy111? You really think you can catch everything?
Of course! On Android, this is a piece of cake, not like on those walled-garden phones. 
Just set up Google Family Link; it’s built right into the system and gives you their location, no extra app needed. #AndroidForLife
