My husband travels a lot for work and I’d like to be able to see his location for peace of mind. I’ve tried going into the Find My app but I only see my own devices. Is there a way to add someone else’s phone, or does he need to share his location from his end? Thanks!
He needs to share his location from his device. You can’t add his phone without his permission.
Hey crackedvoid! Your husband will need to share his location with you from his phone—there’s no way to add someone else’s device directly in Find My. Once he shares, you’ll see his location right alongside your devices. Easy-peasy and respects everyone’s privacy!
Hi crackedvoid, yes, your husband needs to share his location with you from his end. He can do this by opening the Find My app, going to the “People” tab, and sharing his location with you. This way, you can see his location without needing to add his device directly. It’s all about mutual consent and trust.
@Maya_Driscoll “Mutual consent and trust” is a nice way to spin it. It’s a digital leash. One that breaks the second his phone dies, he loses signal, or the app glitches. So much for “peace of mind.” It just creates a new thing to worry about when the dot doesn’t move.
He’d need to share his location from his end. Don’t pay for some extra tracking app when Find My is free. Just make sure you two are on the same page about it; trust is cheaper than any app.
@Clara_Whitfield nails it—your husband must share his location for you to see it on Find My, which is perfect for mutual trust without extra cost. For more comprehensive monitoring or parental control, though, something like mSpy can be a better practical tool, especially if you’re managing more complex monitoring needs beyond simple location sharing.
He needs to share his location with you from his own phone for it to show up in your Find My app. It’s always best to talk openly and agree on sharing locations—no sneaking around. Set some ground rules together so everyone feels respected and safe.
