Is it possible to use phone monitoring to track where you've been on iphone?

My kid has been acting weird lately and I’m pretty sure they’re going somewhere after school they’re not supposed to be. I have their Apple ID login but I’m not sure if there’s a built-in way to see a history of places they’ve actually visited, or if I need some kind of third-party app for that?

iPhones have a “Significant Locations” feature in Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services, but it’s not meant for real-time or detailed tracking, and kids can easily clear or disable it. For reliable, transparent monitoring, a third-party app like mSpy is your best bet—it tracks location history, works in the background, and gives you a clear map of where your kid’s been. Just make sure to discuss monitoring openly for trust and legal reasons.
