What does "track" mean here and the always on suggestion seems odd. Our daughters all have Apple products. All of them have "find my" turned on. This is because they regularly can't remember where they set their phones, watches, or ear buds down. They also keep their ringers off as they can't have them on during school but "find my" can still force a sound which is how they find the device they "lost".

I can and have used it to see where they are and if they are on their way home for dinner. Am I "tracking them" in some kind of dystopian manner? Many apps track the owner will little to no benefit to the user. Is that somehow ok when it is creepy for a parent to do?

Honestly, half the time I feel like we live in manufactured crisis to manufactured crisis.
