How can I keep track of my family?
Q I need to track my family member’s phones just to make sure they are safe and sound. Is there a program or app that does this?
I have an Android phone.

A This isn’t difficult, though you should get your family’s permission first. The best advanced option is the app Life360 (Android www.snipca. com/57068; iOS www.snipca.com/57069, pictured below left), which has a free basic plan. Every family member installs the app and joins a family ‘circle’. They can then all keep track of each other’s whereabouts.
