She says she can't have find my iPhone turned on as she deleted it for storage, is that possible?

Get her a USB to put all her photo/videos on, then she will have loads of room.

’Find my’ takes up about 50mb. Each picture takes around 2mb so it’s the equivalent of 25 pictures.

She is bullshitting you.

15 years old. Never had it on before but she's going jogging at 6 am and I want it on but she says no

Yes she can delete it to free up storage space.
it can be reinstalled - but I guess that would mean her removing something else

Nope. It’s an app that comes with the phone, one you don’t download. She can have location settings on for one contact and it sends a link to the phone you click on and can track the phones whereabouts - I done this with DH, as we have 2 children and one with autism who had a history of taking my phone and hiding it. It was just to ensure it’s still in the house 😅

Sorry you can remove it from home screen so it does look deleted but you just put it in the App Store and reinstall it. (DC also deleted apps, I have a password now 🤣)

Okay but if she has no room?

then she will have to delete other things first, videos, if she has them, as they take up a lot of space- also, how many photos does she have on her phone?

How old is she op?
