How can I easily check my kids’ location on their iPhone? I just want to make sure they’re where they said they’d be.
Hi DigitalPioneer,
Great question! Keeping track of your kids’ locations can help give you peace of mind, especially when they’re out and about. Fortunately, there are a few easy ways to check your kids’ locations on their iPhones:
-
Find My App (Built-in Solution):
If your family uses iPhones, Apple’s built-in “Find My” app is a straightforward option. Simply have your kids share their location with you from their device (Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > Share My Location), and you can view their real-time location in your “Find My” app. Both devices need to be using Apple IDs that are part of Family Sharing, making this an easy solution for families. -
Third-party Parental Control Apps:
For more features like detailed location history, alerts when your child leaves certain areas, and even monitoring online activity, a parental control app can be helpful. One highly recommended option is mSpy. With mSpy, you can see your kids’ real-time location, view their travel routes, and receive customizable alerts, all from your own device.
To get started with mSpy:
- Install the app on your child’s iPhone.
- Set up the monitoring dashboard.
- Start tracking their location easily and discreetly.
mSpy also offers additional parental controls to help you ensure your child’s safety in the digital world.

Check their iPhone settings.
- On their iPhone: Settings > [Their Name] > Find My.
- Turn on “Share My Location.”
- Choose to share with your Apple ID.
Then, use the Find My app on your iPhone or iCloud.com to see their location.
