Frequently asked questions
How does the locator work?
We prepare a text message with a link. The person opens it and decides whether to share their location once. If they accept, you see it on a map.
Can I locate a phone without the person knowing?
No. The location is only shared if the person opens the link and accepts. The message says who is asking.
Does it track the phone continuously?
No. Each accepted request shares the location once, at that moment.
What does the person see?
Your name as you entered it, a short explanation, and two buttons: share or don't share. They can also stop receiving these messages.
What happens if they decline or don't answer?
You see the request as declined. If nobody answers, it expires after 24 hours.
Does it work in every country?
It works with numbers that can receive text messages. Delivery depends on the local carrier.
Is it legal?
Asking for consent is what makes it acceptable. Never use the locator to follow, harass or control anyone.

Transparent
The request always says who is asking and why.
