My daughter is heading out on a week-long school trip next month and I really want to keep tabs on her location without being annoying. I checked out the built-in family tracking features on her phone, but I am not sure if it holds up when she is out of cell range or if the battery drains too fast. Has anyone actually used it for a multi-day trip, and what settings did you find worked best for accuracy and battery life?
I’ve used the built-in tracking features on my kid’s phone for camping trips, and it works decently, but when cell service is spotty, it’s unreliable. For peace of mind, I also set up mSpy on her phone, which gives me more consistent location tracking and other safety features, even with limited cell service.
