[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Find my friends is an app - you can download it for free on iTunes.  Once installed on all phones involved you "invite" someone to connect.  They accept and then voila!  You can see where they are.  It's really accurate and updates pretty quickly when someone's position changes (within 30 seconds or so). [/quote]
Does anyone know if the friend (or DD) knows when another friend (or parent in this case) pings the phone to locate it?  [/quote]

They can't tell when they're being tracked. [/quote]

Actually, you CAN tell if someone is tracking you on Find My Friends, if you are not using any other apps that use location services.  My husband and use it all the time to see where each of us are if we're on the way to pick the other up, etc.  The little location services pointer in the top grey status bar (thy displays your time, wifi signal, etc) will turn purple when an app on your phone is using location services.  So if you have it enabled for Find my Friends and if you're not currently using an app that needs location services, if you see it turn purple you know someone is tracking you on Find my friends.

It's still useful to use, as long as you're telling your daughter that it is in use.  Note though that sometimes the signal is unreliable.  Also, she can turn it off anytime on her end and then just claim she was in a bad service area.[/quote]
