Posted October 21, 2017 My parents just asked me to set it up so that they can track my phone. I am looking for an app that has very few other features cause I don't want them to know about them. Also I want it to give me a notification whenever they look at my location so at least I can know. Any help would be appreciated. BTW I'm 18 but still living under there house. I really just want to keep as much privacy as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is, unless the app is installing an administration profile on the phone, you can just turn off location services and go off the grid for a bit.

Yes but at 18, they can also kick you out of their house. You live under their roof, you follow their rules.

If you have an iPhone, it has an inbuilt feature called find my iPhone that would work. They could see where you are, you can see where they are, and turning off your GPS for a while would make you 'disappear'.

Posted October 22, 2017 Oh right forgot to mention, Snapchat also has the 'maps' feature which tends to be pretty accurate.
