How to Share Live Location from a Child Smartwatch

Learn how to enable and share real-time location tracking from a child's smartwatch to your primary device using the manufacturer's companion app.

  1. Install the companion management application. Download the official manufacturer application on your smartphone. Log in with the primary administrator account used to set up the child’s watch to ensure administrative privileges.
  2. Verify the device connection status. Open the application and confirm the child's watch appears as 'Connected' or 'Online' on the dashboard. If the device displays 'Offline,' verify the watch has an active signal and sufficient battery life.
  3. Enable location services within the app. Navigate to the Device Settings menu within the app and locate the 'Location' or 'Safety' tab. Toggle the 'Real-Time Tracking' or 'GPS Updates' switch to the 'On' position.
  4. Set the update frequency interval. Select the 'Update Interval' option to determine how often the watch transmits coordinates. For optimal battery preservation, select '15 minutes'; for immediate tracking during travel, select 'Live' or '1 minute'.
  5. Confirm location visibility on the map. Return to the main dashboard of the app and tap the 'Map' or 'Locate' icon. Verify that the current GPS marker accurately reflects the watch's position on the map interface.
