My kid recently started walking home from middle school alone, and I want to make sure they are sticking to the safe route we agreed on. I already know how to check their current spot using the app, but I honestly can’t figure out where to find the log of where they were earlier in the day. Could someone explain the exact steps to pull up their past routes, or is that tracking feature just not an option?
Family Link doesn’t actually keep or show a location history or route log—it only does real-time tracking and occasional check-ins. If you want a true timeline, you’d need to enable Location History on their phone and pull the data from their Google account directly, which Google’s made a little more locked down lately. For now, just have them text when they pass the usual landmarks or set a quick “home safe” check-in.
