Parental Controls Query

Is there any way of preventing my child from switching off Find My iPhone, making changes to Location Services and from switching to airplane mode to ‘hide’ their location?

Stop my child from turning off Find my on new update I’m trying to stop my teen from turning off his location in find my I phone I had him on restrictions and he was never able to shut off his location in find my iPhone app (Little green switch) but ever since he updated I can’t find out how to put it back this scares me kids will be kids but apple definitely gets a thumbs down 👎 for taking off this feature on the update It’s scary to think when you have peace of mind of your child’s whereabouts it can easily be took by a simple update

How to stop child turning off find my iPhone My son keeps turning off his location in find my iPhone. I have set up all the content restrictions and also have set not to allow changes., this is password protected so he can not turn it off. However if you go into the find my iPhone app you can still toggle to turn off the location which it does. from My research it never mentions turning it off in the app. Any suggestions?

Find My Location being turned off by teen Hi, I have tried looking online unsuccessfully. I do have the latest OS on the phones also. I have screen time set up and under Content & Privacy (under Privacy) I have Share My Location marked allow. However...my son has learned while he can't change it in settings he can open the find my location on his app library and shut off the share my location button which then blocks me from seeing his location. I have done the shut off and restart the phones, I have shut off Screen Time and restarted the phone and re engaged it....I have also removed the button from his home screen but it stays in the app library but I cannot find an option in screen time to limit him opening the app to keep him from changing it. Any ideas/thoughts are appreciated.
