Know where they are, and everywhere they’ve been.

Open Child Tracker from your Home screen or Rules to see each of your children on a map. Every child has a card with their address, when their location was last updated, and buttons for Directions and History.

While Child Tracker is open, Kinuvo targets a new location about every 15 seconds. GPS, the connection and the phone itself can affect how quickly one appears. The card says Live now while tracking is active and the latest location is fresh, and Last known, with its age, the rest of the time. If you allow it, the selected child’s pin also shows how far they are from you; your own location stays on your phone.

Tracking stops when you leave the screen, switch apps or lock your phone. Each session lasts up to 30 minutes, then you choose Continue tracking. Child Tracker shows where your child is now; it doesn’t add to their Trip History.

Your Home screen shows a small map of your child’s latest reported location, with the address and how long ago it was reported. A location from the last 15 minutes is marked Recent; older ones say Last known with their age, like “2h ago”. Tap it to open their Trip History.

Open any journey to see its recorded route on a full-screen map, with start and end markers. Each place your child stayed for a while becomes a numbered stop, matched to your Saved Places, with an approximate path between stops. Open Directions takes you to any stop in your maps app.

The path is built from the location points the phone actually reported — more while your child is travelling, fewer while they’re still — so it’s an approximate route, not a reconstructed road line, and it can have gaps.

When your child’s phone has no connection, it keeps recording and can hold pending journeys for up to 7 days, then upload them when it’s back online — so Trip History fills in afterwards. Some points may not arrive, and Child Tracker, which needs both phones online, isn’t saved for later.

You can still open journeys your app has already saved while you’re offline. Until your child’s phone reconnects, the latest location shows how long ago it was reported.

Before Android asks for location permission, Kinuvo Kids explains it: “Your location is only shared with your approved family.” Its Dashboard always shows that location is shared. And while their location is being updated, including when you have Child Tracker open, its notification says “Updating your recent location for your family.”

Normally, Kinuvo Kids checks location only now and then while your child is still, and more often while they’re travelling. On newer phones it can use the optional physical-activity permission to tell when a journey starts and ends, so trips group more cleanly. Child Tracker can use more battery while it’s active, because it asks for location more often; that’s one reason it stops when you leave the screen.
