Do any of you track your partner's phone?

Sorry for being away for so long! I would just need it in situations like Cabbie's or Mamie's. No-one else would know he was missing if he fell off the bike and really hurt himself and the area is sparsely populated, so it might be a matter of life and death. If he was unconcious he wouldn't be able to use his phone to call for help. Our phones are both Android, so Find my Friends sounds ideal. The title was designed to attract attention, rather than meaning I was going to track him on a regular basis! Thanks everyone

We have Find my Friend apps, One of the Oopsies has decided (now she is 18) to remove herself from the App, but the others all feel safer knowing that we can track them.
When they all went back to Cornwall (and when they came here last week at Midnight) they liked knowing that we could track them on the Motorways.
I don’t use it at any other time.
MrOops is also on it as he keeps losing his phone, it’s usually in his car, between or under the seat, sigh……..

My daughter goes out running on her own. Via her watch, she connects with me and I can track her, via Garmin, provided there is a signal. She does this in case she encounters a problem, like the OP, but I do not always follow her, and it fades out when her session has ended, so may not be much help.

You can also share location using Google maps - no iPhone needed. My OH is always encouraging family members to do it if we're travelling to meet up, but none of the rest of us is very keen. However, one day when he was out shopping I accidentally tracked him (sort of) when I went into banking app and saw the various places he had made purchases with his card (joint account)! Very little we do is private any more.

Good god no! Sounds awful, would hate tracking anybody or being tracked.

If you both have IPhones, you can simply share your location with one another

I think "do you track your partner's phone" is a strange way of looking at it. "Do you have a tracking app so you can find each other when needed" might be better. I used it today to see if my husband was in Leclerc, so he could get me some shampoo. ?
We don't have anything to hide from each other!

No, we don't track each other but my daughter does track her teenage children.

The OP might consider one of the tracking watches that Lin ks to the wearer phone and can call the emergency services in the event of a mishap.

After the recent debacle I would be concerned too

We use Find My Iphone and Life360. It is invaluable. I was a passenger in a car accident and my husband could see exactly where we were to come and help. If you are travelling separately it is very useful when meeting up.
My husband spent years travelling round the world on business; it would have been so much less stressful to have been able track his progress, especially when planes and ferries were delayed.

We use “find my friends” app but just within close family. Handy to check where each is on a journey, run or outing or even to see if they’re home before a phone call or planning a visit.
Would not like anyone else to be involved though- far too personal/ creepy to feel you’re being tracked.

I have never tracked any of my children nor my husband, I would absolutely hate the idea that I was being tracked.

You can share your position on WhatsApp, then he is in control and just shares when he sets off

I can track my husband on his phone but I don't. Equally I can track my adult son on his phone but the only time I look is when he is pickled, rings me in the early hours on his way home and his phone suddenly cuts out. I just check then to ensure that his phone is moving so I know he hasn't had an accident. One of his friends was walking home drunk from a club in the early hours and was killed by a car as he crossed the road.

Myself, my husband , son and Daughter in law are all on Find My Friends. Very handy.

You could do find my friend my sons and I have it on our iphones and we don’t live local to each other. It’s because I blacked out in my home and it was neighbors who noticed. and called an ambulance. I was in hospital 12 hrs before they knew anything about it. my sons said should it happen again they would see my phone hadn’t moved so they would know. But you can always buy him a Apple Watch and if he falls it would alert his emergency contacts. My oldest bought me one.

‘Find My Friends’ the app is very good. My NZ dil used this, her friends were all on it to make sure they were safe at night getting home. I installed it to help me locate DH in the park when he has to run off and find our dog/dogs when they do a runner looking for squirrels, I also use it when meeting friends in unfamiliar locations.
