Don't forget your parents. I track my kids if they are out and I don't know where. My daughter even called me once because she was lost hiking. I was able to talk her back to the trail by watching her phone's location.

If I were that age, that would creep me out.

No parents here anymore, nor siblings, I'm the last, though I do have 3 elderly cousins, a sister in law and Her 3 grown kids, but that's all folks, outside of a large and smart cat.

They know I don't abuse it. What does creep me out is at work, they give us iPhones but we are required to keep the tracking function active. We are told it's a safety thing in case we make a 911 call and need to be found.

I think all cell services track all phones in one manner or another.
