Supervised child: how to track his location via phone

In order not to worry about where your child is now, download a special application for your and his phone. It will help you track the current location of your child. There are proprietary versions of programs for iPhones and Androids, and there are utilities from third-party developers. The latter have more features, but most of them are paid.

Built-in functions and proprietary utilities from Apple and Google

IPhones already have a program that helps to find another user on the iPhone. It is called “Find iPhone”. It's free. To start using it, you need to type the Apple ID, password from it and allow to determine the location (geolocation). This utility was created so that if the iPhone is lost, its owner can quickly determine the location of the phone. In practice, using it, you can find out where your spouse, child or any other person is now.

For the program to find the device, you need to enter its Apple ID and password

An important condition is that you need to add all the necessary numbers (in our case, a child) to the profile in the family access settings. This application also allows you to see what the child is downloading from the Internet, as well as to set a ban on downloading information.

Android has its own program with almost the same functionality as Find iPhone. The name is also similar - Find My Device. If you still do not have it on your smartphone, you can install it from the Play Store.

Google has its own application that allows you to find Android-based devices

Additional programs for phones on iOS and Android

Please note that the program for determining the location will need to be installed on two phones - yours and your child's. Of course, a child can see an installed tracking program on his phone. There is nowhere to go - you will have to explain to the child that you, as people who worry about him, need to know where he is now when you are not around.

Where are my children

Download the app from the Play Store or App Store. Add all your children to the "register" and install the same application on their phones. In online mode on the map you can watch the movement of your children. There is also a function of notification about the current battery level of your child's smartphone. The program can also record and play back sound around the child. In this case, the child will not even know about it. Location error is minimal.

The application "Where are my children" is paid - the program can be bought forever for 1490 rubles

The free version only includes location detection. Sound playback is available for free only for the first 3 days. And that will be available only for 5 minutes. The paid version costs 1490 rubles one-time or 990 rubles per year. A subscription for three people will cost 1990 rubles.

KidControl

In this program, parents can create places where the child should be. This can be a house, section, yard, school, etc. If the child leaves this place or returns to it, you will receive a notification. There is a function of notifications about the low battery in the child's phone. The program saves the history of movements.

KidControl application sends an alert to parents if their child leaves the previously set geolocation

The disadvantage of the application is that it does not always accurately determine the place where the person is. The app also drains the battery. But there is an SOS alarm button here. If the child clicks on it, you will receive an alarm on your phone. Plus, the program is also available on the computer. The program is paid - the subscription costs from 700 rubles per month.

The utility can be downloaded from the Play Store and the App Store.

Mom knows

This program is free, but with a minimum of functions: it makes sure that the child does not leave the zones predefined by the parents. It also stores information about past movements. The program has a simple and intuitive interface in Russian. It does not load the system and does not waste a lot of charging.

Mom Knows is the simplest and most free app for parents who want to keep track of their child's location

“Mom knows” is installed on the parent’s smartphone, and “Mom knows: GPS beacon” is installed on the child’s phone. The minus of the utility is the lack of updates. The app is available for Windows phones.

Where to download the application: links for the App Store and Play Market.

Lighthouse

Like the previous app, this one was created by Russian developers. But you have to pay for this program. Shows: current location and past movements.

The program has a section for family correspondence. The app notifies you when your baby's phone is low. There is also an alarm button. The program can be installed not only on a smartphone, but also on Smart watches, key chains and even collars to monitor pets.

"Lighthouse" shows the history of your child's movements

The program has a beautiful and intuitive interface, but as practice shows, it does not always accurately reflect the current location. The utility can be used for free for 5 days, but then you have to pay money for a subscription. One month - 230 rubles, 3 months at once - 700 rubles, 6 months - 1190 rubles. You can purchase the program forever for 1690 rubles.

The program can be downloaded via direct links from the Play Store and the App Store.

If you want a free app, use iPhone's built-in Find iPhone feature. If you have Android, use a free analog from Google - Find My Device. Free third-party program - "Mom Knows". It is simple and convenient. If you need additional functions, choose paid applications: "Lighthouse", KidControl or "Where are my children".
