Do you and your partner both have ‘find my friend’ enabled for each other?

[hopingforabrighterfuture2021]

I know this isn’t really an AIBU. Discussion with a friend.

Do you and your partner both have ‘find my friend’ (or similar tracking app) installed so you can both see where each other are?

Interested to see views!

YABU: don’t be silly, that’s really intrusive and unnecessary.

YANBU: it’s perfectly normal, especially if you have kids.

I’m somewhere in the middle, depending on circumstances, although we do have ours turned on most of the time.

We have it and he checks where I am so he can have my cup of tea ready when I walk through the door! I check him to see if he’s still at work. My daughter has us both but my son wouldn’t even consider the thought!

Does it need GPS switched on? I keep mine turned off as I don't like being tracked by any of my phone apps,

Your phone just needs to be turned on and connected to a network for you to be tracked. It doesn’t need GPS.

Or equally for someone to remember to check the 'find my' feature? Or is it only important that the women one waiting at home to make dinner remember?

I’m glad you crossed out women. It’s my husband waiting at home to make dinner.

I keep on meaning to tell Dh to put me on a locate service then I forget!
These threads always remind me and then I forget again. I must make a note.

I'm not bothered about having him on locate though. I can usually track him down if I need him!🤣

I wouldn't like to be tracked, but I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary so can always be found.

Why would anyone need to check that their DH had got to work ok! Surely you assume they have unless you hear otherwise! It’s not something I think about.

I dont, my partner works all over the uk so be waste of time, and sometimes im on nightshift so all he will have me at is at work.
Is there trust issues with you both that youd need it?

We dont but I'm not against the idea
