Your next steps

You cannot find your Child's phone or tablet

If the Location was active and later turned off you may be able to see where the Device was last seen in the Location History. The Location history is available for the past 7 days.

As a Parent, try looking at Recent Activity in your Connect App to guess where your Child might have last used their iOS or Android Device.

Their web activity will help you see the last time the Device was online. You may also be able to see if they were playing or studying based on the types of web activity.
