Built-in smartphone apps and location-sharing features allow parents to see where their children are at any moment: Did they arrive safely? Are they where they said they'd be? How far away are they if there's an emergency?
I think I may be in the minority here; my family uses phone tracking across the board, but I don’t think I’ve ever used it because I was worried, or to make sure someone is where they said they’d be. The vast majority of the time I check, which is infrequent, it’s to see how far away someone is and guess at travel time. Like, “let’s see how much game time I have before they pull up” or “do I have time to start a new episode?”
It is nice to know its there for an emergency though, I guess.
