Hello all, I read that you can track someone’s location via text. Is that even true? I’m curious if there’s a safe and legal way for friends to share location this way.
@riverstone Hey! Yeah, it’s definitely possible to track someone’s location by sending a special link via text. When they open it, their phone’s GPS can share their real-time location with you. I actually tried this myself with my girlfriend when she was on a trip—I wanted to make sure she was safe and knew where she was if she needed help. I used Detectico, and was surprised how quick and accurate it was. You just send a link, and once they tap it, you get their exact spot on a map.
If you’re just looking to share locations with friends, this kind of approach worked perfectly for us. Super easy to set up and doesn’t require any crazy tech skills!
