location of all family members’ devices from the Find My app without your kid
individually sharing their location to each family member.

Now that you’ve established who can track your kid’s device location, it’s time to
decide which apps and services should not be tracking their device location.
Unfortunately, you can’t use Screen Time or Family Sharing to adjust or
manage this; you’ll have to comb through certain location settings manually on
your kid’s device.

Start at Location Services, where you can decide if you want Apple or third-
party apps to track your kid’s location history in order to provide location-
relevant information. According to these services, location history will provide a
“better overall experience,” but you may also want to block it at the start, then
slowly allow services based on your comfort level.
