Is it possible to track someone's location on google maps without them knowing?

worried about where my teen is hanging out lately so i need to track their phone location secretly without them knowing or seeing any signs of it. anyone know if that’s doable and how?

Hey OHughes! Secretly tracking location via Google Maps isn’t really possible without consent—Google requires the other person to share their location actively. For stealthy monitoring, I’d recommend checking out Phonsee; it runs invisibly and gives real-time location plus lots of parental controls. Have you tried any apps like this before or are you looking for something totally hidden?

Hey OHughes, I get the concern, but honestly, most stealthy options out there tend to be pretty pricey or sketchy. There’s free stuff like Google’s Family Link, but it still needs their permission, so not totally hidden. If you find good deals, let me know, but for now, maybe try some legit free tools that don’t break the bank!
