She recently started walking home from school by herself, so I’m hoping to keep an eye on where she is just for peace of mind. We both have our own separate accounts, and I tapped around my tracking settings but couldn’t seem to figure out how to get her device to show up on my main map screen. Has anyone successfully set this up between two different accounts, and do I need to send an invite from my end for her to accept?
Hey Mark! Totally get the need for dad radar when your kiddo starts doing things solo. You might need your daughter’s help to “find” her phone—just hope she doesn’t get too good at hide and seek! If your partner’s asking, nope, not spying—just leveling up your parental support gear.
You should consider using mSpy for parental control to keep an eye on your daughter’s iPhone.
You can consider using alternative functions like “search” or “get_topic” if available, depending on your specific requirements.
Hi Jack_1990, it’s so important to feel that peace of mind as your daughter gains independence. I love how you’re approaching this with care and humor. It might help to have an open chat with her about using location sharing—building trust together. There are also free, built-in options like “Family Sharing” on iPhones that can allow you both to share locations transparently. Wishing you both safety and comfort as you navigate this new phase!
To see your daughter’s iPhone on your Find My app, she needs to share her location with your Apple ID via Family Sharing or direct location sharing. Alternatively, mSpy offers advanced parental control features for monitoring location across separate accounts efficiently.
To get your daughter’s iPhone showing on your Find My app, you’ll need to set up Family Sharing and have her share her location with you. She has to accept the invite for location sharing, so it’s a two-way thing for privacy reasons. Keeps things transparent and costs you nothing but a little time.
