Are you wondering how to track a phone? There are a lot of good reasons you may need to do this. In this article we will talk about how to track a phone the right way. There are some things you need to know on the right way to do it. We will also dispel the most common myth about how to track a phone. So let’s get started

Why Track A Phone?

Smartphones are amazing and have completely transformed every society. We do almost everything on them. Not only does every adult now have a smartphone but we can’t even go a day without one.

How many of us would completely change our day if our smartphone stopped working only to run to the cell phone store to get it fixed?

With all this great technology comes new problems.

Our children can get into more trouble than ever.

Employees are the least productive in history (they spend more time on their phones at work than actually working).

What most people don’t know is these new smart phones can easily be tracked and so can their every move.

Maybe you are worried about your children and what they are really doing on their smartphones. If this is you, you are not crazy. Just look at the stats:

Maybe your workforce is out in the field all day and you just want to know where they are at. Are they on their way to their next appointment? Or are they secretly sitting at home?

As you can see there are a lot of different reasons to need to track a phone.

How to track a phone – Most Common Myth

The most common phone tracking myth is that you can track a phone without ever having possession of it. Here at pcTattetlae we get questions like this:

“How can I track my child’s phone when they are away on travel?”

Of course they want to do something tricky like send them a text message and have the phone tracked.

They have no way of getting physical possession of the phone and even if they did they don’t know the unlock code.

There are plenty of people out there that will sell you phone tracking apps that claim to do this. The only problem of course is that their apps just don’t work.

TIP: If someone claims to have a phone tracking app that can track anyone’s phone without you needing to put an app on it make sure you can get your money back.

This is a big myth because Google and Apple thought a lot about this. I mean do you really think they would leave Android or iPhone so insecure that anyone could start tracking you right now from anywhere in the world?

I doubt it. In fact this would have happened at a large scale already. You would have already read about it on the news.

Apple and Google would be hugely embarrassed and would instantly fix the security hole.

So lets just agree that to track a phone you are going to need access to it. You will need to know their unlock code too.

If you don’t have access to this you just can’t track their phone. You can stop wasting time trying to find someone who wants to trick you out of your money.

How to track a phone the right way

The right way to track a phone is to put some phone tracking app on it. Preferably one that does not require your phone to be jailbroken or rooted . The app should not be visible to the end user so they do not know you are tracking them.

A good phone tracking app should track their GPS Location along with their usage activity.

There are many apps on the market that will do this for you but we will show you how easy it is with pcTattletale.
