My teenager has been acting pretty secretive about their after-school plans lately, and since they are constantly messaging friends on the app, I was wondering if there is a way to see where they are. I know you can sometimes check location tags if they post a picture or story, but my kid hardly ever posts publicly anymore, so that is a total dead end for me right now. Is there some kind of hidden setting or built-in feature I am missing that would let me view their current login spot without it sending an alert to their phone?
There is no way to track someone’s location on Instagram without their consent. Using third-party apps or methods can backfire and compromise privacy.
