Live phone location

@bhepler I used owntracks for a while, but I found it far less reliable than Apple’s Find My. This was especially true on other family members’ phones, where I can’t make sure the app is constantly running in the background. Has the reliability improved?

@dathbe - Not really, no. It’s still frustratingly slow to recognize when you’re inside a geofence. If you reboot your phone, you have to open the app to authorize the location data. Once it has been opened, you can close it and it will reliably run in the background.
I need to play with the Google location sharing and Apple’s equivalent and see if I can get that to integrate. Some day.

I want to involve myself in this thread and want to use a phone location tracker for my family. I have 8 members in total in my family. I want to track them all using a single app. Is there anything for free?

It’s amazing to update you again here. I found something in the meantime that I want to share. Though I had been searching something for free this time. I read a nice article a while ago. This one has shown how to find the location of the person you are tracking, but also track the history of all the places they’ve been in.

That is some expensive free stuff. 48 bucks a month. Not something this community wants to know about I would guess. Spy ware is not always clean it usually has some kind of virus or key logger to steal your information for the person providing the spyware.
