Hello.
We're an iPhone household, at least me, my sister, her husband and my mother.
I don't use location for nearly any app, but I have find my available and a mac at home to check its location, should I lose it.
Today my mother almost lost her iPhone 14 and I started thinking of a solution for us, her family, to track the phone, as it could probably happen again; she doesn't have an other apple device to check find my with and logging into her apple id on a computer requires the 2fa from the iPhone itself.
So, I was wondering.
Is there a way to authorise a family member to check the location of your iPhone only when you open the find my app?
I'm not interested in randomly keeping tabs on her movements.
Of course I discussed this with her, and she was consensual.
It would just be an emergency solution should she lose the phone again.
Thank you.
I'm on an iPhone 13 while my sister and my mother are on an iPhone 14.
We're all on iOS 16.5
