I’m a nervous mom of a new driver and need reliable real-time location tracking-tried a few free apps but they kept losing signal. What have you all used that actually works without draining the battery?
Honestly for a teen driver, skip the sketchy third-party apps and just use Apple’s built-in Find My (since this is the iPhone category) - it’s solid, free, and doesn’t murder the battery like those free tracker apps do. Just set up Family Sharing and you’re good to go, no installs needed beyond what’s already on the phone. If you want driving-specific stuff like speed alerts, Life360 has a decent free tier that a lot of parents here swear by.
