Hi folks,:hello: I hope you are all as well as can be expected.

I have a little problem and wondered if I could pick your brains as I'm a bit :scratch: about smartphones but know that some of you are in the know about these things.
As you know, Mrs B has Alzheimer's and as her confusion is increasing I am a little concerned that we may be approaching the time when she could get seriously lost when out alone. She has already had a couple of 'minor' incidents of that nature. I'm thinking of a smartphone with a 'find my phone' type facility, like the iPhones, where 2 phones can be paired so that I can trace her via her phone, iPhones seem overpriced so I'm wondering if there are any good and reliable aps for Android that could be suggested for investigation. I like the look of the Motorola G6 Play as a phone.
I know that there are tracking devices designed for people with dementia but I want to keep Mrs B feeling like her old self by having a phone, rather than having to carry/wear a device that will constantly remind her of her worsening situation, which is why I'm asking for help.
Our local 'mobile warehouse' employees weren't that great so any suggestions would be most welcome. No worries if nothing comes to mind - it's nice to say hello anyway. :okay:

Search tracking a mobile phone & mobile phone tracking.

There's various ones out there, that allow you to track any mobile. Some require the user of the tracked handset respond, others just the first few messages be acknowledged. With the second sort you'd be setting the
thing up, then no further action required.

Things to watch for is the cost of some of them, and some work with only paired handsets. Could be a problem if one of the handsets is changed at some point.

Check this out for a few ways to do it.

Nice to know you've not forgotten us, be hard I know. Hope you're still helping others in a similar situation.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Hi @Blue. It is so nice to hear from you again.

Spyzie is one. I don't know how much it costs if anythimg, but it can work in stealth mode. You can track Mrs B without her knowing that you are keeping an eye on her. It costs about £5.00 a month and it is American as well. Just found that out.

You can also turn on the share my location setting on a phone. That would also tell you where Mrs B is. There must be quite a few aps around for tracking children. That might be a good way to go.

Sorrhy i can't be of anymore help blue. I hope you find what you are looking for. Take care. :hugs:

I have just been looking at the google play store and there are a lot there. Some seem to have good ratings. And i suppose if you have an android phone turning on the share locations is quite a good one to use as well.
