Android phones allow Family Tracker to update its GPS position at regular intervals. We offer the possibility to perform updates every 1, 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes. In addition, the phone's position is also updated when the phone is moving by relatively large distances, for example while traveling.
You can also send "stealthy pings" to Android phones running Family Tracker 2.4.4 or higher. A "stealthy ping" is a ping with no message content. When a stealthy ping is sent to an Android phone running Family Tracker, the phone's position will be forced to be updated immediately, without any user's intervention or notifications.
