Best app for lost phone/child tracking

funnymonkey

Good afternoon

Could anyone kindly recommend a good app, preferably free that would track a lost phone and subsequently the location of my teenage daughter?
Thank you

android or apple ?

With or without their assistance?

Has the phone already been lost?

Both Android and iOS have location tracking built in.

You just need to turn on location sharing on your child's phone (and hope they don't turn it off)

Friend uses “find my kids”. With the children’s knowledge and consent.
Although slightly baffled at how you can install an app on an already lost phone, or know that it is indeed still with your daughter.

Certainly on Android you can install a app via the play store on your computer.

Find My is installed on all Apple devices by default so no need to "install it" remotely. Obviously if they've deactivated it or such then that's a problem but most would just keep their iCloud/Apple account private rather than turn it off (unless you're in the tin foil hat brigade)
