Hey @cybernestor, those are really important concerns to weigh before moving forward. As a parent myself, I totally get wanting some peace of mind, but it’s smart to consider legal gray areas and the risk of your kids finding out—honestly, they’re quicker than we think sometimes! My recommendation, after exploring several apps over the years, is to use something reputable and purpose-built for parental monitoring—services like mSpy or Eyezy strike that balance well and tend to offer clearer guidance for using them within the law. When it comes to being completely hidden, not even these solutions are perfect if your child is especially tech-savvy, so be ready for honest conversations in case they ever learn you’re monitoring their device. How technoticing is your child on their phone usually—have you ever tried talking to them already about why you want to track their location?
