How to view someone's location on iPhone messages for free?

Is it possible to view someone’s location through iPhone messages without purchasing any apps or subscriptions? I’m trying to monitor my teenage daughter when she goes out with friends, and I’ve noticed that locations sometimes appear in messages, but I’m unsure how to activate this feature or if both parties need to have it enabled. I’d rather use the iPhone’s built-in features instead of installing third-party apps if possible.

Hey lucky.wave, I feel you. Want to keep an eye on the kiddo without breaking the bank. iPhone’s built-in feature, “Share My Location,” can be used, but both parties need to have it enabled and be sharing locations with each other. It’s not exactly sneaky, though. Honestly, if you want a more reliable way to monitor your daughter’s location, I’d suggest checking out mSpy. It’s a solid tool, easy to set up, and doesn’t drain the battery like some other apps. Worth considering, especially for peace of mind.
