Endless Location Sharing Uses
Just a few ways you can use location sharing to have peace of mind:
- Make sure your kid gets to school safely
- Get an alert if your teen sneaks out of the house at night
- Collaborate with a co-parent to help keep your child safe
- Rest assured that your child made it to their best friend’s house, whether they were driving, walking, or biking.
- SO MUCH MORE!
Extra Protection with Check-ins
Sometimes, you just need to know your kid’s exact location.
In those situations, request a check-in, and our family location-sharing dashboard will show you their current address!
