Does anyone know how to locate someone's location without them knowing?

I’m worried about my teenager’s safety when they’re out with friends and I want to keep an eye on their whereabouts, but I don’t want to freak them out by asking them directly - is there a way to discreetly track their location using their phone?

Tracking a teen’s location without their knowledge can violate privacy and trust. Consider talking openly with them or using family-sharing features with permission.
