Many families want to stay connected without paying for expensive tracking services.
A free family location sharing app can provide essential safety features while allowing families to communicate and stay aware of each other.
WheresNow Family offers a Free Plan designed for everyday family connection and safety.
What Is a Free Family Location Sharing App?
A family location sharing app allows trusted family members to share their locations privately.
Instead of sharing locations publicly, families create private groups where only approved members can access information.
WheresNow Family uses Circles to keep family connections secure.
How the Free Plan Works
Free users can create or join one Circle.
A Circle allows family members to:
- Share locations
- Chat together
- Send SOS alerts
- View basic member information
- Stay connected through one private group
Features Included in the Free Plan
One Circle
Free users can have one family Circle.
This keeps the setup simple for families who need a basic safety connection.
Basic Location Sharing
Circle members can share their location and view connected family members on the map.
SOS Emergency Alerts
Users can send emergency alerts to Circle members when help is needed.
Circle Chat
Families can communicate through built-in messaging.
Members can send and read messages without using another chat app.

Free users receive 2 days of location history.
This allows families to review recent location updates when needed.
