Worrying about an aging parent who lives alone, goes out for walks, or is starting to forget their way is exhausting. With consent-based location sharing, you can quietly check that mum or dad is where they should be — without hovering or calling every hour.
How to set it up (3 steps)
- Download the app on your phone from Google Play.
- Send an invite link to your parent's phone.
- Help them accept the invite and turn on location sharing — then you'll see their live location, route and distance.
When it helps
- Living alone: a quick check that they made it home or to an appointment.
- Memory concerns: find them quickly if they lose their way.
- Daily walks & errands: know they're safe without constant calls.
- Emergencies: share their location with other family members fast.
Frequently asked questions
How can I keep track of my elderly parent's location?
Install Phone Tracker: Phone Locator on your phone, send an invite to your parent's phone, and have them accept and agree to share their location. You can then see their real-time location, route and distance whenever you need.
Is it suitable for a parent who isn't tech-savvy?
Yes. Your parent only needs to open your invite once and agree to share. After that, you can check their location from your own phone without them doing anything else.
Does my parent have to agree to share their location?
Yes. Location sharing starts only after your parent accepts the invite and agrees. The app is consent-based and should be set up together so they understand and approve of it.
