Why not track their cell phone location?

There are many tools and techniques for tracking someone’s phone. And here we have rounded up such techniques to help you track your kids’ phone location without installing expensive software or jail-breaking the OS.

  • The Reset Screen Lock option lets you change the screen lock pin/pattern.
  • The Erase option removes all of your phone’s data.
