Hello @VictorVelarde!


Tracking apps are definitely important, and I totally understand wanting to know ways to locate a missing device. I will be more than happy to share with you some options!


As technology advances, we continue to see an increase in options. Most Smartphones include built-in features, which assist in locating the device using Global Positioning System. In addition, you can opt for AT&T and third party apps and features, if desired. For example:


·         Find my iPhone

·         Android Device Manager

·         Microsoft Account

·         AT&T FamilyMap

·         AT&T Protect Plus

·         Lookout


I hope you find this informative. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to let us know.


Regards,

That isnt "tracking" it's an invasion of privacy.  If you have concerns over locating phones or family members, there are benign apps which require the user know they exist.  

Find my iPhone is covert tracking and some parental control features with Restrictions.

We use Google trusted contacts, which I like as it doesn't require I know anyone's password and has a signal flare feature so someone in my contact group can send a message where they are if they feel at risk.  My sister has used it a couple times.  

These are all low data, non intrusive.
