Location Sharing Audit
Every app that can currently share a child's location, who receives it, and which ones are on by default.
Of nine sources that can share a child's location, the three parents most often miss are photo metadata, fitness apps defaulting to public routes from home, and live message shares left running.
Location Sharing Audit
Frequently asked
Should I track my child's location?
Families reasonably disagree, and the evidence does not settle it. What is clearer is that covert tracking damages trust more than it protects, and that agreed, mutual and reducing-with-age arrangements are what teenagers themselves report accepting.
What is the most overlooked leak?
Fitness and running apps, which frequently default to publishing routes, and photo location metadata, which travels with the file. Both share location with people nobody chose to share it with.
How often should this be reviewed?
At least annually, and after any major operating system update. Access is added easily — a new family member, a new device, a shared account — and almost never removed.
