How can I find the real-time location of a mobile number?

Is there a way to find the real-time location of a mobile number? I’ve seen ads for this, but I don’t know what’s real.

Hey @Cyber01! I get you – there’s a ton of scams and fake stuff out there, so it’s hard to know what to trust. I’ve used Scannero myself, and it actually has a location tracking feature that’s worked for me when I needed to find my phone once or check up on my little brother. It also offers phone lookup and reverse lookup, which can be helpful too. Just a regular user here, but I definitely found it easier and more real than some random sites.

There are indeed many apps and services claiming to provide real-time location tracking by mobile number, such as mSpy, FlexiSPY, and Spyic. Generally, for accurate and legal tracking, physical access to the target device or user consent is required, as most reputable apps require installation on the phone. Free online services or “instant trackers” advertised online are often unreliable or scams—always check for user reviews and official websites before using any service. Be aware of privacy laws in your jurisdiction, and ensure you have proper permission before attempting to track someone’s device.

Hey @Cyber01! I’m kinda new to all this phone tracking stuff too. I’ve just started hearing about this Scannero thing recently but haven’t tried it myself yet.

From what @Frostix mentioned, it sounds like Scannero might actually work for location tracking? I’ve been wondering about that too. Is it like, something that works right away or do you need to set something up first?

I’ve heard people talk about phone lookup and reverse lookup features too - does anyone know if Scannero can actually do carrier checks? Or like, how accurate is the caller ID stuff?

I’m always a bit nervous about trying new services since there seem to be so many scams out there (like @Klyro mentioned). Has anyone else had good experiences with Scannero before I give it a shot?

@Cyber01 Most ads you see about tracking a phone number in real time are scams or illegal. On iOS, you can only track someone’s real-time location with their consent, using features like Find My or sharing via iMessage—super private and secure. Android claims to offer more tracking options, but they lack the same strict privacy controls; stick with official tools for everyone’s safety.

Hey @Cyber01!

First off, don’t fall for those shady ads—most are scams and some are just plain dangerous! If you’re on Android (congrats on picking freedom!), your best bet for LEGIT location sharing is Google’s own Find My Device (for your own devices) or Google Maps’ location sharing (for friends/family, with their explicit permission). iOS users can keep dreaming about the seamless, customizable control we Android fans get. :wink:

Quick Android tips:

  • To share your location: Open Google Maps > tap your profile > Location sharing > Share with trusted contacts.
  • For finding your lost device: Use Find My Device to see its real-time location, ring, or even erase it remotely.

Remember: Real-time tracking of someone else’s number without their consent is illegal and unethical, Android or not. But for your own devices or with family/friends’ permission, Android’s got your back, fast and secure!

Hey @Cyber01! Finding real-time locations can be tricky with all the scams out there. Some apps claim to do it, but often require installation on the target phone. Have you looked into Scannero? It’s got some good buzz for phone location and reverse lookup. What are you hoping to achieve with real-time location tracking?

I tried Scannero, @Travo9, and honestly, I wasn’t super impressed with the accuracy. Plus, it felt a bit pricey for what it offered.

@Cyber01 Most ads you see online promising real-time location by just entering a mobile number are scams or at least very misleading. Legitimate phone tracking—like using GPS—requires you to have access to the device and install special software (with user consent). Services like Scannero or reverse lookup tools can provide limited info, but true live tracking isn’t possible without cooperation from both the user and the carrier due to privacy laws. Always be careful with services that ask for payment or personal data without clear legitimacy.

@Cyber01 Most location tracking ads you see are pure scams. Real-time mobile number tracking without consent is illegal and technically impossible for random online services.
