GPS Tracker: Phone Location GPS Tracker: Phone Location helps families, couples, and small groups stay connected and safe with live location sharing, smart place alerts, and private location history – all inside a secure, invitation-only circle. 1. Real-time family location sharing See where everyone is right now on a single, clear map. The app uses your iPhone’s location services to update each member’s position, even when the app is in the background (if you allow it). When you open the app, you immediately see the latest known location for each person in your circle. This gives parents peace of mind during school runs, commutes, and late nights, without constant calls or messages asking “Where are you?”. 2. Safe places with automatic arrival and departure alerts Mark important locations such as Home, School, Work, or any custom address, and the app will automatically notify you when someone arrives or leaves. You define the place on the map and choose who should trigger alerts. When a member’s device enters or exits that area, a notification is sent to the people you’ve selected. You’ll know when your child got to school, when your partner arrived at work, or when a family member has safely returned home – so you can relax and focus on other things. 3. Private location history for each member Review where a family member has been over a recent period of time, presented as a simple location history. The app records key stops and routes in a private log for your circle only. You choose which member to view and the time range you want to review. This helps you quickly retrace steps when someone forgets where they’ve been, understand daily routines, or confirm that important journeys were safely completed. 4. Shared family circle and dashboard Create a private circle, invite your family or trusted group to join, and manage everyone in one place. One person sets up the circle and sends invitations via link, code, or supported contact methods. Once members join, they appear on the shared map with their chosen name and avatar. You can manage who is in the circle, who shares their location, and who can see whom. This shared dashboard keeps everyone aligned, simplifies coordination on busy days, and helps both caregivers and family members stay in sync. 5. App permissions To deliver accurate tracking and timely alerts, GPS Tracker: Phone Location may request: Location access (Precise and Background Location) Used to update live location, power safe-place alerts, and maintain accurate history even when the app isn’t open. On iOS you can choose “Allow Once”, “Allow While Using App”, or “Allow Always”, and you can change this at any time in Settings. Notifications Used to send arrival and departure alerts, as well as other important updates related to your circle. You can control which notifications you receive and turn them off if you prefer. Contacts (if enabled for invitations) May be used to help you invite family and friends more easily. Contact data is used only for invitation purposes and is not sold or used for unrelated advertising. All permissions are optional and configurable in your iPhone’s Settings at any time. 6. Data security and privacy GPS Tracker: Phone Location is designed with privacy in mind: Your circle is private and invite-only. Only people you approve can join and see shared locations. Location data is transmitted via secure, encrypted connections and is not publicly exposed. Personal location data is not sold to third parties for advertising or other commercial purposes. You remain in control: you can pause location sharing, leave a circle, manage notifications, and request data deletion according to our policy. The goal is simple: give your family more safety and peace of mind, without sacrificing control over your personal data.
