Hey there! First off, I'm so sorry about your situation, I can't imagine how frustrating that is. 😥 Unfortunately, FamilyWhere doesn't only use GPS, it uses a few different ways to track you, so GPS alone won't block your location. If the account holder insists on keeping the application on your device, having your location on will actually provide a more accurate reading if part of the problem is the results. This site here will give some insight - https://tfw.support.safely.com/hc/en-us/articles/204119066-My-locations-are-inaccurate- That will yield more accurate results, however the only real way to stop the location tracking is to be the primary account holder and have it removed. 😥 I wish there was more we could do to assist. -Lauren Life360 is a very accurate and real time tracking app. Just sayin
I feel your pain, I too have a psycho husband who tracks my every move. Google play store has an app called Fake GPS location. In addition to that, under settings, go to connections, then location, and select Locating Method and change it to: device only. Directly below that is the Improve Accuracy option, make sure to open this and switch both options off. Your second option and my personal favorite is to simply pop out your SIM card. If You happen to need the use of your phone while you have the SIM card out, you can connect to WiFi wherever you are or (I purchased a hotspot for my car that my husband does not know I have) and log on to T-mobile Digits Website. There you will regain total use of your messaging, calling, and voicemail features... all without being tracked by dear old hubby. -Digits does require you to allow and grant location permissions but with the Fake GPS app in use, the location can be set by you to anywhere in the US. I use the Golden Gate Bridge as my defaul
I'm getting tracked, harrassed, stalked as well from this service. You should be able to disable it for safety. Its a great service for children but unstable men and women with the control atm make it very dangerous and you will not have another customer when I do get my new phone. Maybe you should get your own service then. If you can't trust the person you are on an account with. You shouldn't be on an account with someone who is harassing, stacking you. That's not the app's fault
Hate to break it to you but, FamilyWhere is not ruining your life. Blocking your GPS is treating the symptom not the disease. Wow….she asked for T-mobile community answers about an APP not NEGATIVE opinions and cheap therapy. Geez... There is a much bigger issue here than her husband using the app to track her.

Well, I'm sorry you guys are fighting about this. However, it has been my experience that if you don't want him tracking you it's because you're going or doing something that makes him uncomfortable or there has been shadiness in the past. My question is why do you care if he knows where you are? If you're not hiding anything or going against the boundaries set forth in your relationship what does it matter if he knows where you are? Yes i believe that by turning on your location and giving full access you will help with the location that it will show. It is not about being treated like a child but maybe more so of a safety or security reason. I promise you if you give into it and simply answer his questions without attitude and get him to understand that it's not always accurate things will be better. When you're in the car together have it on so he can see how accurate it is and maybe that'll get him to realise how the system works. I promise you if you give into it for a little wh
