Here's a playstore link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.life360.android.safetymapd
Setup a circle at your house. Install the app on all phones you want to be a presence sensor. There's a snart things device you cab setup for it in the smartthings app
Google maps option is good. But there is a better solution.
Try life 360. Install it on iPhones and your phone. There are also some additional features and it works with both platforms. You can also buy premium features if you need them.
The closest app I could find to replicate Find My Friends' full featureset (and then some) is Life360.
I've been testing it on my Pixel and iPhone for about a month now and it looks a lot less battery-intensive than I was worried it might be. You'll still see it on your usage logs, but it's never been anywhere near the top for me.
It does have a ton of features that are way overkill (IMO) and the free version only lets you setup two locations for arrival-departure notifications (doesn't matter to me but you could set these location reminders on demand on Find My Friends). There's also the Drive Detection feature that I hated, but you can disable it.
I like it a lot. It's a solid alternative.
For Find My Friends our family uses Life360 which actually works pretty great. My family uses iPhones and I use an android phone and this definitely fills the Find My Friends gap for us.
I have heard of couple where they track each other all day and there is app that when you arrive home they get a notifications. You can add places like market. Husband is in market you message him. Bring chocolate, pasta and whine for dinner. Wife arrives to school to get the kids. The kids are going to the cinema without permision... Etc... They use apps like this one. Life360
Most of time they use this app in a non toxic way. Some people says: "if you had nothing to hide why are you afraid of share info with your patner".
I dont think i need to do it. I dont like be controlled or control people. But for some people are usefull and enjoy the features that bring this app in a non toxic relationship.
Ps: i never use it and i think i shouldnt use it.
I've used Life360 as a paid app+service 4 years ago. There is a free (limited but still useful) mode.
To make absolutely sure my GF knew what was happening, I nicknamed it the "stalker" app. It can also share shopping lists, notify on crash (fast moving to instant 0), 30-day tracking history, etc. You might ask them about low-speed crash notifications.
ALL participants are tracked with history, none of this "I'll watch you but ...".
That was years ago, dunno about anything else. Google Maps will do it as well with a shared location; if you login with the other's account (thereby becoming them in Google's eyes) you can view their history in near-real-time. (30-day limit? How about 30 years?)
Very simple there is free and paid my family uses free version. There are 4 of us. I say it is great to use and very easy for all. My set it up and she's no techy at all :)
Remotely turn tracking off - yes Remotely turn tracking on - no
Life 360 is available in playstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.life360.android.safetymapd
You can try free version of Life 360. You can semd message to other phone, Check live location but I don't think you can ring other phone.
You can ring your android phone from your wife's phone by going to website version of Google's find my device. And by logging in to your Google account. Or you can do it from your laptop.
It'd take me a few hours but I could probably write it myself, I'm just wondering why you'd ask 5 dollars for it. Especially seeing how you've got apps like this that have similar features but for free.
As the only family member that switched to Android while everyone else remains on iPhone, this was not an easy task. I had to find something that would be as easy as Find My Friends for the wife and kids to use.
Life 360 turned out to be my solution.
Can you log into Google Device Manager and give a general location of where you see it on the map? Did you use any tracker apps?
Also, try Life 360. You'll need to have the app on the iPhones as well. It's an app that more or less does what find my friends does. It has paid premium features but the free parts are enough for your purposes I think. The app has worked well for me with my android and my wife's iPhone in the past.
I think GPS usage comes from Family Locator. But I don't want to give up on using this, as I like knowing where my family is in a big city like London.
Family Locator - I would give this one a shot. There are a decent number of apps on the Play Store, however this one stood out as it serves the exact purpose you're requesting.
EDIT Whoops, looks like someone else beat me to it!
Life360 is perfect for this. My family has used it for quite some time now.
Family Locator is the one we used for a bit. Works pretty well.
I actually meant this one Family Locator
My parents use Life360 with my younger sisters and they have no complaints

African americans I don't see muhc, but in universities specially in Manila (around this place called U-belt/University belt/Morayta), you will find some Nigerians.
The best place to go and reside is in BGC/Makati area, you won't find it hard to adjust in terms of lifestyle (but it's gonna be costly), try your luck there and maybe you can find someone, but here in the Philippines it's really not advisable to just randomly talk to strangers in public places, unlike let's say in pubs and bars there you can try, the nightlife here is fun and most Filipinos are really easygoing and sociable, you won't find a hard time communicating with them. The best ones are in Makati/BGC area, but since you're a minor, I don't think so I should be encouraging you to do that yet.
When it comes to online dating, you will find many foreigners. I'm a native Filipina, and most of the time they really have this impression that asian girls are easy (sorry, but yes), I have talked to some before and most of them are really just after sex (I'm not saying all, but most of them), of course there are exceptions, if you're into hookup culture and that's fine with you, why not. I do not shame those who do, nor saying that I'm not like that, but I just hate the impression they have of Filipina women.
The difference of foreigners in the Philippines and foreigners/tourists in other countries is that they feel like a celebrity here because people bow to them so much (unlike let's say in Japan, because mostly they are there to study in colleges so nothing fishy), so you really have to discern a foreign man's intentions as to why they're here in the Philippines. That's what I noticed.
Be very careful with dating here in the Philippines, here in the Philippines, human trafficking/kidnapping is rampant and knowing that you're a foreigner residing in a province/rural area you may catch some attention, do not stay outside late, and if you're to go somewhere always bring someone with you. Do not go anywhere that you cannot commute your way out. Grab and google maps would be very helpful, also this safety app called Life 360, your mom/friends would be able to locate you on your whereabouts and alert them in case anything happens.
Birth control (they are provided free in barangays), child support isn't a thing here, the law won't be after your deadbeat baby daddy, and most Filipino men your age or even those above 20+ are still living with their parents and cannot fend for themselves, much more sustain a child and a family. This country is currently suffering from inflation, and with our current government, the future of this country in the next 6 years may be difficult financially.
Also, Cavite is a province and the social scene there is dead, unless you're going to school. It's mostly suburbs here in the Philippines (and we call them subdivisions), it varies from district to district (we call them barangay), and the people/families are mostly secluded/private. If you're used to the city it may be depressing for you to stay in the province (I've lived in both but I'm introverted so it really didn't matter), once you get to college though, if your mom allows you to transfer in Manila, there maybe you'd enjoy it more and make more friends and you'd love the student/dorm life.
Stay safe and also best advice I can give you is just stay friends with people your age, do not entertain older men (to date) here in the Philippines, most of them are dishonest and you wouldn't like to find yourself in a situation where they already have a wife and kids that they won't disclose to you until you've caught them yourself, you wouldn't like being the other woman. There is no divorce here in the Philippines, so whatever happens to you because of being involved in an extra-marital affair, no one would give a shit, because mistresses/side chicks here are crucified and feasted on (it's culture), on social media, on anywhere, they will make your life living hell.
You're a beautiful young girl, stay safe.
This app helps people to track their family members just in case:

Don’t immediately agree to meet up in person. Keep communicating with them until all members feel safe and comfortable. Cease communication if you don’t feel safe.
Consider meeting up in a public location before getting down and dirty. It can this assure you of the other person and tell you if you are okay with each other’s personalities(if that even matters to you).
You aren’t sure about their age? Ask for ID, some people might be okay with this, some might not be. Discuss this before meeting to see how they feel about
If you don’t feel comfortable or safe, it is okay to stop talking. Tell the other person that you feel uncomfortable and walk away.

I'm usually on the phone on my way to work, listening to podcasts, Spotify, or reading articles online. I'm sure the GPS is being used by Family Locator, and Tasker sets up profiles based on location.
