    "FindMy" is a native Apple application. On the phone it used to be called "Find My iPhone" but since it's used across all Apple devices (phones, tablets, computers) they changed the name. It's not going to help with an Android device, itself, but someone should be able to log onto the web presence from a browser on the Android phone just like any computer.

    Invasion of privacy, no thanks. I use location services only when needed Only.

    I was allowed plenty of freedom as a kid, looking back that was certainly a good experience. I returned at dinner time. I want my son to always be aware of his surroundings and to become self reliant as he gets older. Tracking his whereabouts would seem to undermine the idea of building responsibility for making us aware of is location.

    I was tear-assing the main drags in my '67 Coronet R/T when I was 17 back in '71. Whenever something a bit more nefarious than usual happened, my old man would ask me about the next day. -- How do you know this-??

    And I remember when our kids were tear-assing around in their teens, somehow we'd find out about it. And came to realize how my old man always found out what I was up to

    Good parents have ALWAYS 'tracked' their kids. Satellites have just made it a bit more-- nefarious

    Again, no thanks. I'll stick to local social networks.

    I retain my social media accounts for business purposes, beyond that I don't want this continuous invasion of privacy under the guise of 'helpfulness'. We're constantly and continuously donating our rights for very minor improvements in 'security'.
