No internet, no account, no cloud and no data plan. This phone tracker works wherever you can receive a text.\n\nHOW IT WORKS\nAn approved contact texts your keyword. Your phone texts back a map link to its GPS coordinates, with its location accuracy and battery level. They don't need the app and there is nothing to sign up for. For regular check-ins they can subscribe to updates every few minutes, each showing how far and in which direction the phone has moved.\n\nYOU STAY IN CONTROL\n* A new number that texts your keyword waits for your approval. Nothing is sent until you tap Approve; blocked numbers are ignored.\n* An optional PIN locks the app's settings and approvals, so nobody else using the phone can switch it off or approve themselves. Parents can set up a child's phone, approve their own number and keep the PIN.\n* No internet permission, no account, no tracking, no ads.\n\nFEATURES\n* Location on request, or the last known location without waking the GPS\n* Periodic updates with distance and direction moved\n* Choose what each reply contains: coordinates, accuracy, battery, time, map links\n* Limits that protect your SMS bill from floods\n* Simple-to-use Phone Track app\n* Free software (GPL-3.0)\n\nGOOD TO KNOW\n* Set location to \"Allow all the time\" so a text can start a reply while the app is closed.\n* Turn off RCS chats for these conversations: Android hides RCS from apps, so those texts never arrive.\n* Needs Android 8.1 or later and a SIM that can send SMS.\n","categories":["Location Tracker & Sharer"]}
