So whether you want to keep tabs on your kids or know exactly where your significant other goes after work, I'm going to show you how to track someone's location without them knowing. Not only that, but you can even set reminders for when they leave or arrive a certain location, if you want to be especially intrusive. Once set up, you can monitor every movement of the person you're spying on. It simply shows that you're a follower (and not a stalker). Even if the other person decides to open Find My Friends-which most people bury in a folder anyways-it's not very apparent that they're being tracked. I decided to try it out, and not only was it incredibly easy, it was also fairly incognito-once turned on, the person you're tracking never receives a notification or alert of any kind.

Sure, you need consent from both parties before sharing a location, but what if I were to enable Find My Friends on someone else's iPhone, then share their location to my iPhone without them knowing? Then it struck me can't this be used to effectively spy on someone? You can even share your location with others so they can track your whereabouts as you go about your day. It's pretty useful for scenarios when you need to keep tabs at an amusement park or to get a live ETA when your buddy is coming to pick you up from the airport. Apple designed Find My Friends in 2012 as a means for better-connecting with friends and family.
