Is Face Swap Live safe for my kids?
Family Locator is an app primarily for parents to keep an eye on their children’s whereabouts and is safe for kids.
Parents should be aware of who their kids have in their approved circles, as their exact location will be made available to a child's circle whenever the service is active. For older teens with a license, it may be tempting to open the app and locate where friends are, which could pose a serious risk if distracting them while driving.
The Driver Protection package could mitigate some of this risk, as it informs parents of teens' driving habits, including such dangers as speeding and phone usage while driving, but that comes at a subscription cost and is not available with the free version.
Parents should know that locations are only available to users that they have added and accepted into their circles, so strangers will not see the locations of family members. Reviewing parents agree that the app provides them with peace of mind about their kids’ whereabouts when they are out and about.
